Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwari has urged Virat Kohli to rethink his decision to retire from Test cricket. Kohli declared his test retirement earlier this month, ending the days of speculation on his uncertain future. A few days after Kohli’s announcement, it was reported that he had informed his decision to retire from tests for BCCI. Tiwari, a former team partner of Kohli, realized that the former captain of India has a lot of cricket. Speaking on Cricbuzz, Tiwary said he would be happy, such as any other fan of Indian cricket, if Kohli makes retirement U-turn.
“I felt a little sad. In an era where T20 cricket is moving forward, Kohli has kept Test cricket alive. He could not easily give it the necessary importance. But he always kept Test cricket as a priority. He played for first -class cricket after just five days and then for Bengal, trying to win the Ranji Trophy,” Teevri said.
Tiwari also suggested that Kohli had a ‘brain faded’ moment and decided to retire in haste.
“Sometimes you face a time when a brain may fade and you make a decision. It is possible that he had a lot of cricket left. He was very close to 10,000 runs. Although it may not be important for him, a lot of young cricketers dream of making their names in Test cricket and not a good chance.
During this discussion, former India batsman Virender Sehwag told what such a special batsman makes Kohli.
Sehwag said, “His hunger for runs is what makes him different, separates him.” “He follows his routine, his hard work, whether he is scoring runs or not. Many cricketers stop working hard when their runs are not coming, but not him. And then his fitness. Even today, he will leave 90% of the players behind in fitness at the age of 36.
