Losing Someone Like Kohli Is Very Hard From Indian Test Team's Point Of View, Says Karthik
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik said Virat Kohli announcing his retirement from Test cricket is a massive loss from an Indian Test point of view, as he was the one who defined how the longest format of the game should be played and valued by the players.
On Monday, Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, ending a career where he amassed 9,230 runs in 123 matches at an average of 46.85, hitting 30 hundreds and 31 fifties with his highest score being 254 not out. Kohli’s retirement came just days after Rohit Sharma announced he was quitting playing the longest format of the game.
“It's massive in the context of not just Indian cricket, but in the context of Test cricket as a format itself. In today's day and age, we all know the most watched format is definitely the T20s. In many ways, Virat Kohli was the front runner in how Test cricket needs to be played and how much it needs to be valued.”
