Virat Kohli is playing his 100th Test match in Mohali. Although Kohli faltered at 45 after a good start on Day 1 of 1st Test, the speech that he gave before the start of play became iconic.
While giving the speech, Kohli also mentioned a picture that he had taken at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) with Rahul Dravid during the U-15 days.

Here is the picture that Kohli talks about:

"It is a special moment for me. My wife is here and so is my brother. Everyone is very proud. It is indeed a team game and it couldn't have been possible without you," said Virat Kohli before the start of 1st Test in Mohali.
This is the same ground - IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali - where Virat made his captaincy debut and would be itching to go out and give his best. Although he hasn't scored a hundred since 2019, he has been in good form of late, scoring half-centuries and getting quick runs.
