Virat Kohli's unexpected retirement from Test cricket shocked fans and insiders alike. Former India selector Sarandeep Singh revealed Kohli had expressed a strong desire to play India A matches and score “3-4 centuries” against England in the upcoming series. Kohli, who returned to red-ball cricket in the Ranji Trophy earlier this year, reportedly showed no signs of retirement. Singh said the decision was a surprise, as Kohli seemed focused and motivated. Kohli announced his retirement via Instagram, ending a 14-year Test career. His absence leaves a significant experience gap in India’s squad for the challenging England tour ahead. (PC: AFP)
