"Five days ... do I want to do it again?": Virat Kohli's old video on Test cricket is going viral amid retirement Buzz | Mint

While the speculation of Virat Kohli’s retirement is running out of Test cricket, a track of veteran Indian batter began to draw on social media where he talks about how the testing of the longest format of the game can be. In a video shared by Sky Sports on X (formerly Twitter), Kohli says: “You must be honest with yourself. I mean, you know that Test cricket is tough. I mean, even if you are one of the top teams in the world, or probably the best test team in the world over the last few years. You can still go into a space where you probably don’t want.” “So you have to be really honest with yourself. Are you ready for the hard grinding? Are you ready to wake up on day three when things are absolutely stacked against you, if you know you are in trouble as a batting unit? Are you going out there to get that 100 or to get the 150 for your team. You know it will be difficult. You should probably do this for a two -day period. Are you strong enough to do this? ‘ Kohli added Kohli to leave Indian cricket in the hands of youngsters: In the same video, Kohli says if he had to walk away from the match tomorrow, he would “walk away” without any regret, because everything he did since entering the Indian cricket has always been for the team. When Kohli left the future of Indian cricket in the hands of young people, Kohli said: ‘The reason I reach out to these guys is because I don’t want them to waste months and years of my life that I as a youngster are still trying to find out when I have the formula for success and what it means to compete at this level. I want these guys to go early. “It is noteworthy that several reports revealed earlier this week that Kohli shared his intention with the BCCI to retire from Test cricket, but the Indian Cricket Board asked the biggest cricketer to reconsider.
