- Shashi Tharoor appealed to Kohli’s return.
- Virat Kohli scored 9,230 runs in 123 Tests.
- Under the captaincy of Kohli, India has won 40 in 68 Tests.
Shashi Tharoor wrote on the social media platform X, “I felt the lack of Virat Kohli many times during this series. But, the lack of lack in this Test match, he has never been as much as he was. His patience and passion, his inspiring presence on the field, his brilliant batting, maybe give some more results. Is it too late to declare his retirement?”
Kohli’s decision to retire from the Test was shocking. Kohli is fit, being quite active on the field. There is about two years of cricket in them. He has already retired from T20. ODIs are decreasing. In such a situation, it was believed that he would play ODI and Test by 2027. But, his sudden decision to retire from Test cricket also surprised the fans and the players of the team.
Virat Kohli has been the backbone of Indian batting for the last decade. If we look at the Test career, he scored 9,230 runs with the help of 30 centuries in 210 innings of 123 Test matches, with 7 double centuries. Kohli is also India’s most successful captain in Test cricket. Under his captaincy, India has won 40 in 68 Tests, India has lost in 17 Tests, while 11 Tests are drawn.
