Virat Kohli's Golden Run In Tests:

From 2016 to 2018, Kohli enjoyed a golden run in Tests, averaging over 75 for two consecutive years and scoring 14 of his 30 hundreds in these three years.

His form dipped considerably in the past four of years and he stepped down from captaincy in 2022 following a series defeat in South Africa.

He later went on to say that the leadership role and the resultant spotlight affected him adversely and he quit to return to a "happy space" mentally.
