Indian Cricket Team star Virat Kohli announced on Monday that he retired from tests in a social media with an emotional message. Reports on the retirement of Virat have recently been tours and some claim that BCCI was asked to reconsider his stance. However, Kohli decided to announce his decision in June immediately in front of the Test series against England. In the message sent by Kohli, “#269, signing,” he attracted the attention of something that left on the Internet. The number 269 referred to Virat’s CAP number because it was 269th player representing India in the tests.
Kohli, who confessed that there was no easy call, appeared in 123 tests for India and ran an average of 46.85 to 30 hundred 9230.
Kohli, “For the game, for the people I share the field, and for every person who makes me see me along the way,” I’m moving away with a heart full of gratitude. “

Since its first release in 2011, Kohli has covered India with the number one position in the format and brought a historical series of victory in Australia in 2018-19.
Now he will only play in ODIs, retired from T20 International last year and play an important role in India’s T20 World Cup win in the Caribbean.
Kohli said, “14 years have passed since I first wearing a bluish blue in the test jack. To be honest, this format has never imagined the journey to take me, tested me, shaped me and taught me lessons for life.”
Megastar’s post -test task was only a large -scale overwhelming Australian tour. It finishes well below 10,000 running signs that accept his career as a formality at one stage.
Nevertheless, the right -handed, Sunil Gavascar (4), Sachin Tendulkar (6), Virnder Sehwag (6) and Rahul Dravid (5) ‘s iconic duo in front of the iconic duo is signed as the giant of seven pairs of faces for an Indian.
At a time when the T20 leagues were most sought -after and watching the demonstration, Kohli’s Aura Fans played an important role in holding a hook to test the jack.
This has been accepted by something less than Sir Viv Richards, often compared with the style and aggression he sought significantly in the last few years.
“There is something very personal about playing in whites. Silent grinding, long days, little moments that no one has seen, remained with you forever.
“When I get away from this format, it’s not easy – but it makes you feel right. I gave everything I have and it was given to me much more than I hoped. I will always look at my test career with a smile.”
