By IANS News May 10, 2025 • 18:56 PM View: 698

World Test Championship: Former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu has requested talismanic batter Virat Kohli to reconsider his reported decision to retire from Test cricket.

On Saturday, IANS reported that Kohli has communicated to the BCCI his desire to retire from Test cricket ahead of the important five-match series in England, starting on June 20. But the BCCI had urged the former India captain and the team's most experienced batter to reconsider his decision, citing the important assignments up ahead in the format, including the England tour.

Rayudu believes the team will not be the same without Kohli’s massive presence.
