India’s champion batsman Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, which also led to a golden phase in this format of this great player, one of the traditional cricket’s troubles in T20.
Thirty -six -year -old Kohli retired from T20 International last year. Now he will only play one day cricket. On this announcement, Samajwadi Party leader and former Minister of State IP Singh has made emotional appeal. The SP leader reacted on the social media site X.
He wrote- Legend India’s Shan Virat Kohli retired from the Test match. Large is great. Even now we all hope to play Test matches and play a new world record for two years.
Let us tell you that Virat has played 123 Test matches for India in which he has scored 9230 runs with the help of 30 centuries at an average of 46.85. When T20 cricket was in the news globally, he was at the forefront of saving the Test format.
Kohli admitted that it was not easy to decide, which ended the speculation about his future in the long format of the game. The period of speculation began after a disappointing performance of Australia’s tour early in the year.
Kohli announced on his Instagram page, ‘I have played for the game, with whom I played in the field and I am taking gratitude in the heart for every person who has seen me playing during this game.’
After making his debut in 2011, Kohli made India the world’s number one team in this format and won the historic series in Australia in 2018-19.
Last year, after playing an important role in India’s T20 World Cup win in the Caribbean country, he retired from T20 International, so that he will now play only in ODIs.
