End of an Era: Virat Kohli Retires from Test Cricket

India's cricket prodigy, Virat Kohli, has officially announced his retirement from test cricket, concluding an illustrious 14-year career that leaves a significant gap in India's lineup. The announcement came soon after captain Rohit Sharma ended his red ball journey.

Debuting in 2011, Kohli's remarkable statistics include 9,230 runs, 30 centuries, and a batting average of 46.85 across 123 tests. His legacy sets him as India's most successful test captain, achieving 40 victories out of 68 matches during his 2014-2022 captaincy stint.

Though retiring from tests, Kohli remains committed to one-day internationals and the IPL. His departure marks the end of an era, but his indelible impact and contributions to Indian cricket will be cherished forever.
