Anushka Sharma Reveals: Indian cricket saw a historic record as Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket following an illustrious 14-year long career. Former Test skipper took to social media, penning a nostalgic post while recalling his childhood’s all-time passion for the longest format of the game.
“It’s 14 years since I laced up Test cricket’s baggy blue for the first time. Honestly, I never could have imagined where this format would take me. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me things that I’ll carry around for the rest of my days. There’s something so intimate about playing in whites. The quiet drudgery, the long days, the little moments no one sees but that you’ll hold forever. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy — but it feels right. I’ve given it my all, and it’s given so much more back to me than I ever could’ve dreamed. I’m stepping away with a heart full of gratitude — for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I’ll forever look back on my Test career with a smile. #269, signing off.❤️”
His heartfelt words encapsulated the passion, dedication, and sacrifices that shaped his journey, leaving fans and the cricketing fraternity emotional.
Following Kohli’s announcement, Anushka Sharma, his wife, shared an adorable picture of the couple standing on the ground in whites, with Virat donning his Test jersey. Her accompanying message was an intimate glimpse into the unseen struggles and triumphs Kohli experienced throughout his career:
“They’ll speak of the records and the milestones. But I’ll recall the tears you never wept, the battles unspun, and the enduring love you showed this game of life. I understand what all this cost you. With each Test series, you returned a tad wiser, a tad humble. And to have witnessed you evolve through it all has been my happiness. Somehow or someway, I always used to picture you walking away from international cricket in whites — But you’ve played all your life with your heart, and so I only want to say my love, you’ve earned every moment of this farewell.”
