Virat Kohli: End of an Era in Test Cricket

Virat Kohli's decision to retire from Test cricket has led the cricket community to hail the end of an era for one of India's modern-day greats. Kohli, known for his passion and exemplary performance on the field, leaves behind a legacy of 9230 runs and 30 centuries in this format.
