Virat Kohli wanted to continue, but BCCI … ‘: the old Indian star made a tremendous claim after sudden retirement

Former Indian captain Muhammad Kaif claimed that Virat Kohli could not get the support he expected from the BCCI and selections, which led to his effective finishing his career. Kohli, who runs 9,230 in 123 matches at 46.85, wrote that he would retire from the tests that came into force immediately on Instagram on Monday. The decision comes only five days after Indian captain Rohit Sharma retired from the test jack.

“I think he wanted to continue in the format. There should be some internal interviews with BCCI, the selections may have stated his form in the last 5-6 years, and he may have told him that his place in the team may not be there anymore.

Kaif, in a special meeting with IANS, “But given the last -minute decision, I think that after playing Ranji Trophy, I definitely want to go back in the upcoming tests. Developments in the last few weeks may not receive the support he would get from BCCI and selector,” he said.

Recently, Kohli had fought to make consistent runs in the tests. He took 190 rounds in nine Inning of the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, which India lost 3-1. 100 of these runs came with an unprecedented second shot in Perth. Kaif felt that Kohli was in a hurry to run in Australia, and at the same time he felt an indication that he had reached a rapid end of his test career.

“At the border, Gavascar Trophy 2024-25, hurried to run. You should stay out for hours and you have to grind in the past jack in the past, but the constant edges of the ball that moved away from it while trying to drive made you feel that the patience was slightly less.”

“Maybe ‘I am in the last stage of my career, there was a different patience from him before a brave century scoring, he would leave the balls, took his time, the bowl was tired and I pulled them down, but I did not see it in Australia’.”

“A method of dismissal in Slips shows that he is not ready to spend hours in wrinkles. He may have caused a decision to realize himself in the communication and red ball cricket from BCCI,” he said.

Although Kaif is sure that Rohit had retired from the tests after making him unusable for the Sydney test earlier this year, he said that Kohli was still a surprise when he left the longer format. “On the other hand, Virat’s decision surprised me. Yes, his number in his test career has fallen in the last few years, but a 36 -year -old virat kohli could return as he proved earlier.”

“He felt that he would play for a few years, he felt that he would guide young players. This is a very special decision, he always said it was his favorite format.

Kaif, “He liked the ugly challenge because he often encouraged young people to follow the way to prevent the death of the test jack. He used to tell young people to win the test hat and took advantage of the Indian cricket,” he said.
