Indian cricketer, Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from Test cricket.

The 36-year-old former captain took to his official Instagram handle to announce the retirement, just a month before India tour England for a five-match Test series.

Kohli says it’s been 14 years since he first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket, it shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life.

He says as he steps away from this format, it’s not easy - but it feels right.

Kohli says he has given it everything, and it gave him so much more than he could’ve hoped for.

He adds that he is walking away with a heart full of gratitude - for the game, for the people he shared the field with.
