Legendary India batter Virat Kohli has announced his immediate retirement from Test cricket.
His decision comes before this summer’s five-Test tour of England, which starts on 20 June, and follows captain Rohit Sharma’s retirement on Wednesday.
Kohli, 36, has played 123 Tests for India and scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85.
“It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket,” Kohli posted on social media.
“Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life.”
