Kohli’s Retirement From Tests Comes As ‘kind Of A Shock’, Says Ankola
On Monday, Kohli announced that he’s ended his 14-year Test career with immediate effect, bringing down curtains in an illustrious career, where he amassed 9230 runs in 123 matches at an average of 46.85 – making him the fourth-highest run-getter in Tests for India after Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar.
“I just came to know the news about 5 minutes back and still trying to get over it. Nobody thought he would announce it, as I was expecting him to go to England. I mean, this has come just all of a sudden, like Rohit also retires, and now Virat also retires. Two senior members gone – one an opener and other in the middle order. So, it's kind of a shock to me also. I was expecting them to go to England and then take their call later.”
