Virat Kohli also shared a post on his Instagram. He wrote, “Fourteen years ago, I donned the Blue Cap in Test cricket for the first time. Honestly, I never thought this format would take me on such a journey. It tested me, it shaped me, and it gave me lessons I will cherish for life. There’s something special about playing in whites. It’s a quiet, long, and patient journey. These are the small moments that no one sees but always stay with you. Now, as I bid farewell to this format, my heart is heavy, but it feels right. I gave Test cricket my all, and it gave me back so much more.”
