The first Test match involving india and Sri Lanka, which will begin on march 4, 2022, will be Virat Kohli's 100th in the event's longest format. Kohli's historic Test match, on the other hand, will be devoid of spectators. sunil gavaskar, a former indian cricket legend, believes that when a player performs, he wants the audience to be involved. Gavaskar went on to say that any performer would like to appear in front of the audience, despite the fact that india had recently played international matches without fans.

You want the fans to be there for whatever game you play. In recent years, india has played in front of sparse crowds. In an interview with a sports magazine, sunil gavaskar said, "Any artist, be it an actress or a batsman, chooses to play in front of the audience." sunil gavaskar also noted that a cricketer's 100th Test is a momentous occasion. Gavaskar also stated that not having a crowd for Kohli's 100th Test match is unfortunate, adding that this decision was made with greater care because Covid-19 instances are on the increase in Mohali, the destination for Kohli's landmark occasion.

"The 100th Test is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's disappointing that there will be no audience, but I believe the choice was made in the best interests of the community. The number of instances has risen in and around Mohali, where the match would take held," sunil gavaskar observed.
