The BCCI official broke the silence on Virat Kohli considering the retirement retirement: “Request …”

In a step that has sent waves through the Indian cricketing fraternity, talisman batsman Virat Kohli has allegedly expressed his desire to retire from Test cricket. According to sources close to the Control Board for Cricket in India (BCCI), the 36 -year -old Stallwart recently conveyed its intention to move away from the longest format of the game. Kohli, who made her Test debut in 2011, has been the cornerstone of the revival of India’s red ball in the last decade. His aggressive captaincy, vipul batting and unmatched intensity have helped India turn into a malignant test side both at home and abroad. With over 9,000 runs in the format and 30 centuries, Kohli’s presence at the crease is no less than iconic.

However, BCCI is not yet ready to let the experienced batsman go. Sources indicate that the top officials have reached Kohli, urging them to reconsider their decisions, especially with significant tourism on the horizon. India has been designed to adopt on a challenging foreign calendar, including England and Australia -series tours, where Kohli’s experience can prove to be invaluable.

“She is still incredibly fit and hungry. His presence in the dressing room raises the entire team,” a senior BCCI official said on condition of anonymity. “We have requested them to take some time before making a final call.”

While Kohli has not made any public statement on the matter, fans and former cricketers equally filled with messages of support to social media, hopefully gives another tenure to modern-day legendary format. For now, Indian cricket waits – sonad with breath.

Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma announced retirement from Test cricket on Wednesday. Kohli is also thinking that the batting order of India in the same lines will leave the shoulders of the youth on a large scale in the New World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, which started with a five -match Test series against England in Leeds on 20 June.
