Virat Kohli's Test Cricket Farewell: A Journey Across England

Virat Kohli has officially retired from Test cricket, ending months of speculation about his future in the format. The 36-year-old Indian cricket legend leaves behind an unparalleled legacy built on passion and intensity, especially evident during his experiences on English pitches.

Kohli's Test run in England is a microcosm of his career's ups and downs. Starting with his challenging 2014 tour, where he struggled against England's formidable pace attack led by James Anderson and Stuart Broad, Kohli amassed just 134 runs in 10 innings.

In stark contrast, Kohli's 2018 tour saw a remarkable comeback with 593 runs, silencing critics and marking his dominance. However, the 2021/22 series exposed vulnerabilities once again, though Kohli put up a resilient fight. His overall performance in England, with 1,096 runs in 17 Tests, may not fully capture his talent.
