All cricket fans around the world were heartbroken after Star India’s batter Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket. The 36 -year -old batsman, who made his Test debut in 2011, called Time on his career after playing 123 matches and scored 9,230 runs. During his career in whites, Kohli scored runs everywhere and dominated many situations, areas and bowlers. He scored runs everywhere, and for players abroad, he emerged unprecedented in world cricket as a fast, tireless and major force.
As the whole nation is currently dealing with the news of Kohli’s departure, former India opener Akash Chopra gave an interesting insight on whether he would have been motivated to take such a decision.
“He played Test cricket with the intensity of T20s. He ran a marathon at a speed of a sprint and kept running, and it is absolutely crazy. As a batsman, you can put all his efforts in the fielding, but he used to run on the ground, celebrates every wicket, celebrates every wicket, ordered someone,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
“If not, he was playing with the crowd and running them. It is crazy intensity. It is one of its own way. We will not see such intensity again, nor we found him before.
Chopra said that no other player can ever replace Kohli and is called a “three-form master”.
“There will never be another player like Virat Kohli. He is a three-form master. Now where do you meet the three-form masters?” Kohli said.
“If you see the Fab Four, none of them are playing the three formats well. If you see the upcoming generation, you see that one is good in one format, but not in the other,” he said.
