Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh questioned Virerta Kohli about his sudden departure from the test cricket. Kohli called his time from the longest format on Monday 12th May through a long instagram post. India has previously announced today that the star dough was considering retiring in the last few days before the upcoming tour of England.
BCCI (Cryt Council in India) even tried to re -think of his launch. However, he stood firmly on his decision and decided to give up the format most. Following Kohli’s notification, Harbhajan asked the star dough about his sudden decision.
“Why did he retire? @Imvkohli,” Harbhajan wrote on his X account.
Kohli retires after playing 123 tests and scoring 9230 runs in his career on average 46.85 with 30 centuries and 31 1950s to his name. He made his debut in the longest format in 2011 against West Indies and in 2012 scored his first test against Australia in Adelaide.
Kohli is also the most successful Indian test captain when he led the team in 68 test matches, won 40, lost 17, while 11 ended with a draw. Under his leadership India registered the victory of her first series in Australia 2018-19 and many other unforgettable victories in overseas, with the most famous Be in Lords’ 2021 vs England.
His best performance in the series came during Trophy Border Gavascar 2014-15 against Australia, where he killed four hundred in so many test matches and accumulated 692 runs from eight shifts on average 86.50.
Its highest test score of 254* came against South Africa in Pune, 2019, playing a key role in a massive victory in India shift and 137 runs. Kohli also scored seven double centuries in his career, four of which came in a back-to-back series, a world record.
