Virat Kohli’s elder brother Vikas Kohli has penned an emotional note after he announced his Test retirement. Kohli took to social media on Monday to reveal the news.“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,” the post read.“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.
“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.#269, signing off.“🇮🇳❤️”Virat’s elder brother Vikas has shares a couple of Instagram story.
