Mumbai: Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, bringing an end to a remarkable chapter in the sport that redefined India’s dominance in red-ball cricket.

The star batter took to social media to announce his decision. He stated that stepping away from this format of the game is not easy but “it feels right”.

“I have given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could have hoped for,” the 36-year-old said.

Kohli shared that he will always look back at this test career with a smile. He spoke of his deep connection to the traditional format, stating,” There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever.”

Kohli has played 210 Test innings, amassing 9,230 runs at an impressive average of over 45. His tally includes 30 centuries and 31 fifties, cementing his legacy as of the finest Test cricketers the sport has seen.
