"A Team Who Did Not Love...": Ex-England Captain Pinpoints Big Difference Between MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli

"Shocked and sad" at Virat Kohli's sudden retirement from the longest format, former England skipper Michael Vaughan said no individual has done more for Test cricket than the star Indian batter. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, drawing the curtain on a stellar red-ball career. He represented India in 123 Tests, scoring 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, including 30 centuries. "There are not too many Test retirements where I am left genuinely disappointed that I won't watch a cricketer play again. But I'm sad we won't see Virat Kohli in England this summer or in whites any more," Vaughan wrote in his column for the Telegraph.

Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has said that he "loved" watching Virat Kohli play every day of his 123 Tests and felt it was hard for someone to take their eyes off the India stalwart when he dazzled on the crease in the red-ball format. Virat penned a note on Instagram on Monday to announce his retirement from red-ball cricket, days after his long-time compatriot Rohit Sharma bid adieu to the format. In a journey that redefined the demands of the game, Virat scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties and finish as India's fourth-highest run-getter in the format.

"Don't Thrust Test Captaincy On Shubman Gill": BCCI Sent Warning By World Cup-Winner

As the next phase of Test cricket begins for India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has some big shoes to fill. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin are all gone, while some next generation stars have been given the improbable task of replacing some of the finest players the game has seen. For the captaincy responsibility in the longest format, Shubman Gill's name is on the top of the charts, though former India cricketer Kris Srikkanth doesn't think the top-order batter is the right choice.

Virat Kohli Was Given 'Hint' About Captaincy Return, Then 'Tone Changed': Report Claims Reason Behind Retirement

Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket has left Indian cricket with a vacuum that may not be filled for a long time. Already dealing with the retirements of Ravichandran Ashwin and Rohit Sharma, Indian Test cricket lost the services of another veteran when Kohli, through an Instagram post on May 12, announced that he would not longer be continuing in the longest format. That he was not keen on continuing in Tests was a buzz that was already quite loud in the days leading up to the announcement. But when it happened, most were taken aback as reports suggested that the BCCI and several other big names had tried to convince Kohli to continue playing with India's Tour of England starting in June.

Team India face a conundrum. After the retirements of stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from Test cricket, India have two big shoes to fill ahead of their five-match Test tour of England in June.

India have a number of options they could go with, but former India opener Wasim Jaffer has stated that they should back Shubman Gill in the role.
