There are mixed feelings about Virat Kohli’s retirement. Many former players, team executives, and even the captain have said that he should step aside before being forced to sit on the sidelines. The cricketing world has seen many players make this decision. Kohli is a great example of this. In his short time as captain, he has led the Indian team to five Indian Premier League titles and made millions of fans happy.
Despite his recent indifferent batting form, Kohli is still considered a top Indian player. Not long ago, he was soaring over the scoreboard and scoring centuries like it was a piece of cake. It is only now that he hasn’t scored a century in international cricket. Despite this, his record looks unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon. Despite his current indifferent batting performance, Kohli is still likely to achieve his goal of becoming the highest run scorer in history.
Despite his decision to step aside from his Test captaincy, the Indian team will surely miss his leadership. Kohli has been the most vocal captain for India and has been the defining figure of Indian cricket. He has also been one of the most popular captains in the world. Virat Kohli has earned the title of the most successful Indian captain in Test cricket. So, why would he consider stepping aside?
While it’s not a surprise that Kohli’s retirement has sparked controversy, it’s important to remember that he played his final Test match with MS Dhoni, who was a great captain and head coach. Despite his age, he still commanded India’s batting line-up and was one of the most aggressive and passionate captains in the history of the sport. He helped make India a more aggressive and competitive side and changed the way they play the long format.
The Indian players’ association defended the aggressive attitude of Kohli, calling it a necessary part of his character.

While Sachin Tendulkar was the most revered player in Indian cricket, Virat Kohli’s relationship with the legend was incredibly special for the two. They both idolised Sachin and were teammates when the cricket legend retired. After announcing his retirement, Tendulkar’s family presented the new Indian captain with a priceless gift. The cricketer’s father had given him a sacred thread that his son had wrapped around his neck.
However, Virat Kohli’s decision to retire from international cricket has caused a rift among the team. After the 2018 World Cup, India had an incredibly difficult time replacing Rohit Sharma, the captain, who had been the only ‘invincible’ player to lead the team in its first ever 50-over World Cup. However, the BCCI has not stated when they will name Kohli’s successor, but the team has a plan.
