Anushka Sharma Shares Moving Post On Virat Kohli's Test Retirement

After the announcement, Bollywood actress and producer Anushka Sharma shared an emotional Instagram story dedicated to her husband. The heartfelt message was written by Varun Grover, a well-known lyricist, writer, and stand-up comedian. 

In his post, Grover beautifully described why Test cricket is special, calling it a “narrative sport” that combines various elements, from changing weather conditions to the mental challenges players face. He compared it to a long, complex story that requires perseverance, saying, “That’s why only those with a story to tell succeed in Test cricket.”

Grover went on to praise Kohli, calling him the biggest character in the “novel” of Test cricket over the past decade. He admired Kohli’s ability to bring out different emotions on the field, saying he embodied both the drama and passion of the game. 


Virat Kohli’s Test Cricket Legacy

Kohli announced his decision on Instagram, just days before the selection of India’s squad for the important five-match series against England. The timing took many by surprise, leading to speculations that the decision might not have been entirely voluntary.

Over his illustrious career, Kohli played 123 Test matches, scored 8,195 runs, and hit 28 centuries, making him India’s fourth-highest run-scorer in Tests. As a captain, he led India to 40 wins out of 68 matches – the most successful Test captain in Indian cricket history. 

Although his Test career has come to an end, Kohli will soon be back on the field. The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will resume on May 17, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
