Following the retirement of his teammate Rohit Sharma last week, it was reported by Indian media that their other batting sensation was considering the possibility of hanging his boot at least from the longest format of cricket.

Kohli left an emotional note on his social media confirming the decision.

"It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life."

"There's something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever."
