Virat’s best years matched with captaincy and retired as India’s fourth highest run-gate in tests.
This is the end of an era in Indian cricket. Virat Kohli, the legendary Test cricket champion, has called time on the longest format of the game. Kohli informed the BCCI about his intentions to retire, and the Indian Cricket Board’s efforts to explain their efforts otherwise became flat. It brings curtains to a luxurious 14 -year career, the 36 -year -old has dissolved some of the highest peaks.
Virat made Sachin Tendulkar successful at number 4 and made that place his own for more than a decade. He retired as India’s fourth largest run-match-song in Test cricket behind Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar. He captained India in 68 tests before leaving the post in 2022, leading to men 40 wins in blue. As a batsman, Kohli’s return has decreased over the years, but he served some classics including a century in Perth last December. The India vs England range could have been his last, but Virat called it to select elections in the name of the squad.

In his first 29 tests, Virat took an average of 39.46, scored 9 fifties and 6 hundreds. Kohli

Ending
Virat Kohli had made a correct test career as a captain and batsman, but the years after his career have been a blot on his record. Kohli had 27 tests in late 2019, and in 5 years, he could only add 3 more in his name. His average in the 50s was once at 46.85 at the end of his career. Since January 2020, Virat has an average of only 30 in the format. His issues with a moving ball returned, while he became unsafe to spin. Once the fierce warrior led India’s charge, Kohli became the only mortal. He resigned as captain after the South Africa series in 2022, in which Rohit Sharma took over. This did not help the fate of his batting, and he eventually leaves the format that he had the most loved in his heart.
Despite his run slow. Kohli leaves a huge hole in the Indian line-up. The 36 -year -old is at the box office and is going in a new direction with the Indian team, Virat will be a property that he will remember from the beloved. He is more than 50 at number 4 despite his middle middle return, a spot Gautam Gambhir and selectors will be difficult to fill.
