Virat Kohli retirement from Test: Virat Kohli shared that he is retiring from Test cricket after 14 years and wife Anushka Sharma has now reacted to it.
Anushka Sharma, whom Virat has always considered his biggest cheerleader, took to Instagram to share a photo with her cricketer husband, and wrote, “They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye.”Virat shared a photo from a match to make the announcement. In the caption, he wrote that although it was a hard decision, he felt now was the right time to step away. Kohli thanked his teammates, fans, and everyone who supported him. He said he will always look back on his Test career with pride and a smile.
“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,” he wrote.He went on to add, “As I step away from this format, 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. I’m walking away with a heart full of gratitude — for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile.”
