Virat Kohli, September 6, 2021

FORMER India captain Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from Test cricket.

The 36-year-old’s decision comes the week after Rohit Sharma, who succeeded Kohli as skipper, also retired from the red-ball format and a month before India start a five-match Test series in England.

Kohli scored 9,230 runs in 123 Tests to stand fourth in India’s all-time list of Test run scorers.
