Retirement of Indian team great batsman Virat Kohli from test format
Virat Kohli is not the name of a player, it is the name of an emotion.
Now we will not see this great player playing Test cricket. First of all, these figures are 123 matches, 30 centuries, more than 9000 runs, all these are there but the most important feat that Virat Kohli has done is as a captain.
In 2014, when he got the captaincy, the series was about to end. Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that I am leaving the captaincy and Virat Kohli will captain the last test match. This moment was not that easy but Virat Kohli made it easy.
When he captained for the first time in Australia, he scored two centuries in a single test match. There is no such easy task as the Australia test series. Virat Kohli said that now I will not play with four bowlers, now I will play with five test bowlers who give me twenty wickets.
Because the Indian team used to play with four bowlers earlier. Now the question comes to whether you have the ability to take risks.
Virat Kohli had that aggression, that's why we believe that the respect that Virat Kohli gave as a leader will be missed.
Virat Kohli won 40 times in 68 matches as a captain, his aggression for the Indian team was what got him victories. The Indian team won the Test cricket titles in 2017, 2018, 2019, that too under his captaincy. The Indian team remained the Test Team of the Year in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, that too under his captaincy.
In 2020, the Indian team won the Decade of Champions, that too under his captaincy. Virat Kohli said that I will not go for a draw, I want a win.
This is what made him great. Virat Kohli's 30 centuries in 123 Test matches will always be remembered in the history of Test cricket.
