Virat Kohli retires from Test cricket

Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from Test cricket with just a little over a month to go before the England tour. Virat, 36, made the decision days after fellow Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma bid adieu to the format. The former India captain took to Instagram on Monday to share the news with his fans.

He wrote, “It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life. There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites... I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for. I’m walking away with a heart full of gratitude... #269, signing off.” The cricketer also shared a nostalgic photo of himself wearing India’s iconic whites. Virat made his Test debut in 2011 and went on to play 113 Test matches for India.

Recently, Virat was in the news for ‘accidentally liking’ Avneet Kaur’s image on Instagram.
