Virat Kohli Retirement A Result Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy Flop Show? A Look At His Final Test Series

Speculation around Virat Kohli's red-ball future had been building for months and now, it has finally come to an end. The 36-year-old Indian cricketing icon has officially announced his retirement from Test cricket, marking the end of an era that saw one of the modern greats dominate the longest format of the game with unmatched passion and intensity. Kohli's final chapter in Test whites played out far from home, during a disastrous Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.

Virat has witnessed it all in Australia, from coming of age to dominance to utter helplessness against forces of age, muscle memory, and time.
