To recover from terrible times and maintain your focus on finishing the task at hand, you need a lot of hard effort, perseverance, and self-belief.

“You’ve endured the blows, stood up, and forced the bowlers to work for your wicket. You should be proud of every single run you scored for India. You’ve served as an example of what perseverance, confidence, and dreams can accomplish. Congratulations to the 100th Test club. I hope and pray that you set the precedent for Indian cricket by scoring a massive hundred in your 100th Test and create the groundwork for yet another victory in Delhi.
