India great Virat Kohli has retired from test cricket after playing 123 matches in his glorious 14-year red-ball career.

India great Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from Test cricket. Kohli's decision to retire comes just days after Rohit Sharma - who succeeded Kohli as skipper - also retired from Test cricket.

Having been hailed as the face of Test cricket, Virat took the decisive and correct step to move on — the right decision at the right time. Only, he denied his fans the opportunity to give him a standing ovation on his final walk to the dressing room from the Test arena.
