‘If India is reduced by 5–0 in England …’: Michael Clarke’s adventure claim on Virat Kohli’s Test return. Cricket news
New Delhi: Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that Virat Kohli, who has often called Test Cricket the Pinquil of the Sport, can come out of retirement if India endures a huge defeat in the upcoming five-print series in England and the team management and selectors request their return.Kohli announced his retirement from the longest format last month after playing 123 Tests for India, scoring an average of 9,230 runs in 46.85, including 30 centuries.Clarke told Beyond 23 Cricket Podcast on Friday, “I believe. If India goes to England and hatch, if he loses a 5–0 series for example, I think fans want Virat Kohli to come out of retirement and play Test cricket again.”“And I honestly, I think if they were asked by the captain, the selectors and supported by the fans, if they get a big time in England, I think he will come. He still loves Test cricket.“I think their words, I think those words, like you can hear their passion for Test cricket, are real.”
After fulfilling his long -running dream of winning the IPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli said that the title is still ranked “five levels under Test cricket”.Both Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from the test format before the England series, which begins with an initial match in Leeds on 20 June.“Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket. I think any team misses his captaincy. I think he was a great captain. Virat Kohli goes away from Test cricket. Destructive! He is a full champion and Test cricket will miss him,” Clarke said.
