Virat Kohli Test Cricket Retirement: After 14 unforgettable years in Test cricket, Virat Kohli shocked his fans by announcing his retirement from the format. The news quickly took over social media, with thousands of fans expressing their emotions and sharing tributes to the cricket legend.

In his heartfelt Instagram post, Kohli shared his personal journey: “It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life. 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. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy, but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for.”

He also reflected on his deep gratitude: “I’m walking away with a heart full of gratitude — for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile.”
