India Butter Batter Virat Kohli announced retirement from the test cricken, lowering the curtain in a glorious career in the longest format just days after Captain Rohit Sharma did the same.
The 36-year-old decision comes a week after Rohit Sharma, who inherited Kohli as a skipper, also withdrew from the Red Ball format and a month before India started a five-game test series in England.
“It’s been 14 years since I first carried bags blue in the test crice. Honestly, I never imagined that this format would take me. He tested me, shaped me and taught me the lessons I would wear for life,” Kohli said on Instagram.
“There is something deeply personal in playing in white. Silent grinding, long days, small moments that no one sees, but it stays with you forever.
“As I leave this format, it’s not easy – but it feels okay. I gave everything I had, and came back to me so much more than I could have hoped.
“I go with my heart full of gratitude – to play, for the people I shared the terrain with and for every individual person for which I felt seen in the way.
“I’ll always smile at my test career.”

Kohli scored 9,230 running in 123 tests to be the fourth on the Indian list all the time of respondents.
He has already told the Cricket control Committee in India (BCCI) that he wants to withdraw from the test cricker ahead of this series of summer in England.
It is understood that the 36-year-old said to the main selector Ayit Agarkar in April from the desire to deviate before the start of the World Cup in the 2025-2027 World Cup in June.
