Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli is reportedly preparing to retire from Test cricket ahead of India's five-match series against England, starting June 20, 2025. Sources reveal that Kohli has informed the BCCI of his intentions, though officials are urging him to reconsider, emphasizing his fitness and ongoing hunger for the game. With Rohit Sharma recently retiring from red-ball cricket, Kohli’s exit would deepen the leadership vacuum. Kohli has played 123 Tests, scoring 9,230 runs with 30 centuries. His departure would mark a major shift in Indian cricket, as the team prepares to enter a new phase of transition. (PC: The Indian EXPRESS)
