Virat Kohli took the doors of BCCI, but had to return empty -handed, the selectors said, 'Sorry that your place is not'

Cricket News Desk. Virat Kohli surprised the cricket world on May 12 by announcing his retirement from the test format. The main reason behind Kohli’s sudden retirement from Test cricket is not yet known. Even the BCCI and the selection committee are surprised by the decision of ‘King’. Before the Indian team’s tour in England, Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket heated the news market. There is a lot of speculation about his retirement. Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif claims that Virat Kohli wanted to play the English series, but that he did not receive support from the Ajit Agarkar selection committee. What did Mohammad Kaif say? I think Virat Kohli wanted to continue to play Test cricket. There must have been some internal discussions within the BCCI. The selectors have quoted its form for the past 5-6 years and said that they now have no place in the team. Will we never know what happened? It is very difficult to guess what happened behind the curtain. NDTV quoted Kaif and said, “This decision was made at the last minute.” He also played the Ranji Trophy match, which certainly revealed that he wanted to play in the upcoming Test series. Kohli has decided to retire over the last few weeks. Maybe he didn’t get the support of the BCCI and the selectors he expected. There was a competition to score runs. Kohli, 36, has not been in good shape for the past five years. He scored 2028 runs in 68 innings, including three centuries. The average of Kohli dropped to 46. Kohli raised the hope to return to the form by achieving a century in the Perth test on Australia’s tour. However, his performance in the next games was weak and he could only score 90 runs. India lost 1-3 in the Border Gavascar Trophy. Kaif believes that Kohli’s mentality in Australia shows that he is tired of test format. Lack of patience, Kaif said, “Kohli Border-Gavascar trophy was in a rush to score runs in 2024-25.” You stay outside for hours and go to Test cricket, which they have done before. But to constantly attack the outer end, whether it is a ride game or something, I felt that he did not have patience. He further said: ‘Kohli may think that he is in his last phase’. What is the use of a century in such a situation? Initially, he showed a different kind of patience, left the ball, took his time. He got the bowlers tired and then dominated them. But it was not seen in Australia. The ongoing dismissal in the slip showed that he was not ready to spend a lot of time on the fold. Perhaps he reached this decision because of consultation and self -awareness with the BCCI. Share this story -tags
