Virat Kohli, India's cricket icon, has announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of a remarkable 14-year career. In an emotional Instagram post, Kohli expressed that while the decision was difficult, it felt appropriate at this stage of his career. He reflected on his journey, stating that he gave his all to Test cricket and received much more in return than he had ever hoped for. Kohli's retirement follows closely after Indian team captain Rohit Sharma also stepped away from the longest format of the game, signaling a significant transition period for Indian cricket. Kohli's departure leaves a substantial void in the team's leadership and batting lineup. (PC: The Tribune)
