Virat Kohli: The End of a Thunderous Era in Indian Cricket

Australian cricket icon Greg Chappell has remarked on Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket, describing it as the end of a transformative era that redefined India's cricketing identity. Kohli, who debuted in 2011, eclipsed the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in cultural influence, according to Chappell.

Chappell conveyed in his ESPNCricinfo column that Kohli's decade-long career symbolized grit and audacity. This period, he argues, represented a shift from past conventions, with Kohli embodying the self-assured and unapologetic spirit of 21st-century India.

Referring to Kohli as a 'snarling warrior,' Chappell claims that Kohli's approach led to a seismic shift, transforming Team India into a formidable force abroad. Although legends like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni left their mark, Chappell asserts Kohli has been the most influential figure in Indian cricket.
