Virat Kohli’s test retirement reports completely shocked all cricket fans. A few days after the news of Rohit Sharma’s retirement, the report said that Star India Batter is also looking to hang his shoes in the longest format of the game. Kohli, who has played 123 matches and scored 9,230 runs, has taken Indian Test cricket to new heights with his charismatic leadership and aggressive batting. Since India will start its 2025-27 cycle of the World Testing Championship against England in June, Kohli’s presence will be important, especially Rohit’s retirement.
Amid reports of Kohli’s bowing, an old video of him was revived on social media, where he was seen talking about the importance of Test cricket in his life.
“You need to be honest by yourself. Are you that you go out to go out to work for five, six hours, as a batting entity, to go out as a batting unit, to go out as a batting unit, are you in trouble.

He said, “I reach these people because I do not want them to ruin the months and years of their life that I was wasting as a young man, when I came to know the formula for success and what means to compete at this level, I am still trying to find out things,” he said.
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.
