Emotional Goodbye to Test Cricket
In a heartfelt post, Kohli announced his retirement from the longest format of the game, writing: “It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket… It’s not easy — but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for.” He added, “I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile. #269, signing off.”
A Glorious Career Ends
Kohli played 123 Test matches. He scored 9,230 runs with an average of 46.85. He also hit 30 centuries. He ranks as India’s fourth-highest run-scorer in Test cricket. Anushka has supported Kohli throughout his journey. Her presence during this emotional moment highlighted the strength of their bond.
