Indian star cricketer Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from Test cricket<\/a><\/strong> with immediate effect. The cricketer made the announcement with a heartfelt post on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself wearing India\u2019s Test jersey.

His wife, actor Anushka Sharma<\/a><\/strong>, also showed her support and shared an emotional note, recounting the hardwork and tears that went behind Virat\u2019s successful Test career.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cThey\u2019ll talk about the records and the milestones \u2014 but I\u2019ll 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 \u2014 and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cSomehow, I always imagined you\u2019d retire international cricket in whites \u2014 But you\u2019ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you\u2019ve earned every bit of this goodbye \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n

Announcing his retirement, Virat admitted that while the decision to bid goodbye to Test cricket wasn\u2019t an easy one, it was necessary. Sharing his thoughts and the emotions attached to playing for the country in whites, he wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2019s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I\u2019ll carry for life. There\u2019s something deeply personal about playing in whites.\u201d<\/p>\n

As I step away from this format, it\u2019s not easy \u2014 but it feels right. I\u2019ve given it everything I had, and it\u2019s given me back so much more than I could\u2019ve hoped for. I\u2019m walking away with a heart full of gratitude \u2014 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\u2019ll always look back at my Test career with a smile. #269, signing off. \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3\u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n
