India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday (12th May). The right-hander made the decision public in an emotional Instagram post, which left many shocked, as not many expected him to retire from the format.
Kohli's decision came just ahead of the Test series against the England National Cricket Team and five days after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement. With the kind of impact that he made, his absence surely will leave a massive void in the team.
