Virat kohli retires: A great decision has changed the picture of Indian cricket. Virat Kohli has retired by breaking the hearts of his fans. Kohli is probably the first player in the last 30-40 years, whom the BCCI appealed not to retire yet. Despite this, Virat did not deepen from his decision and stamped the retirement. On Monday, he wrote his heart on social media and said goodbye to Test cricket.
More than one superstar cricketer has been born in Indian cricket. Players who ruled the world. Sunil Gavaskar became the world’s first cricketer to score 10,000 runs. The first cricketer who scored more than 30 centuries in Test cricket. Then Kapil Dev created history and became the first bowler in the world to take 434 Test wickets. Indian cricket continued to move forward like this. In this sequence, veterans like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer Khan came and gave India all the achievements. Some became the world champion and some were part of the number one team. One by one, they all said goodbye to cricket, but it was not the one who has announced retirement, then the BCCI said that stop now. Right now it is not the time of your retirement. India needs your game right now. Virat Kohli creates new history with retirement in this matter.
Goodbye 269… Virat Kohli took this from the test, why did this number mean on the announcement of retirement, what does this number mean
When Virat Kohli recently expressed his desire to retire from Test cricket, there was a panic in Indian cricket. Nothing like this happened during Rohit Sharma’s retirement. It was almost said that this is the right time for his (Rohit) retirement. When Virat retired, the same thing came from every side that he should not retire. Not only India, the fans of the world appealed to him to play. Many veterans also assured that Virat Kohli would not leave Test cricket. On the other hand, Virat had made up his mind. In the last 17-18 years, we have seen that if Virat has made up his mind, if he insisted, if a decision is taken, then no power in the world can stop him. Yes, they have a strength to stop and that is Virat Kohli himself.
When Virat Kohli has said goodbye to this format of cricket by playing 123 Tests, he has 9230 runs with the help of 30 centuries. In Indian cricket, only Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar have been able to make more Test runs than him. It tells how high Kohli’s stature is in Indian cricket. By the way, it is a matter of relief for the fans that Virat Kohli will continue to play ODI cricket, in which there is no batter in the whole world. It is expected that Kohli will make India a world champion in 2027.
