    'True Legend': AB De Villiers Leads Tribute As Virat Kohli Calls Time On Test Career

    By IANS News May 12, 2025 • 14:08 PM View: 585
    The ICC Chair Jay Shah: The cricketing world came to a standstill on Monday as one of the game’s most iconic figures, Virat Kohli, announced his retirement from Test cricket, drawing the curtain on a glittering red-ball career that spanned 123 matches, 9,230 runs, 30 centuries, and 31 fifties. Kohli, 36, confirmed the news via an emotional post on Instagram, reflecting on his 14-year journey in the whites of India.

    What followed was an outpouring of emotion from across the cricketing globe, with teammates, rivals, legends and fans flooding social media to pay tribute to a man who changed the face of Indian Test cricket forever. Among the first to respond was AB de Villiers, Kohli’s long-time friend and former RCB teammate, “Congrats to my biscotti @virat.kohli on an epic Test career! Your determination & skill have always inspired me. True legend!”

    Jhulan Goswami, India’s bowling stalwart, summed up Kohli’s presence in whites perfectly: “There was something about @imVkohli in whites. It wasn’t just skill. It was intent. He didn’t want to survive. He wanted to dominate. To conquer. And in the process, he gave us 14 years of unforgettable memories. Best of luck for your journey ahead.”
