"Will Not Watch Cricket Now": Virat Kohli Told, With Anushka Sharma By His Side. Star Cricketer's Reply...

Legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli bowed out of the Test format on Monday, putting an end to a 14-year, 123-match-long career that witnessed him touch the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows. Throughout his career in whites, the 36-year-old made runs everywhere and dominated a variety of conditions, regions, and bowlers. His run from 2016-19 is considered as one of the richest primes in Tests, having made 4,208 runs in 43 Tests at an average of 66.79 and 16 centuries. He plundered runs everywhere, and for the players overseas, he emerged as a bullish, relentless, and dominant force unprecedented in world cricket. The year 2018 stands out as perhaps the best among all. This was when his dreams of world domination got their wings and his performances turned him into Test's ultimate flagbearer.

On Tuesday, Virat Kohli and wife Anushka Sharma had a special spiritual conversation (Ekantik Vartalaap) with Premanand Ji Maharaj in his Ashram Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Varah Ghat, in Vrindavan. The duo then returned to Mumbai. As they got out of the airport, someone told the star cricketer, "Why did you retire sir? Only because of you I watched Test cricket. Now, I will not watch cricket."

To the question, Kohli first ignored and then said: "Jaane dijiye sir (Please let us go)."

As per ESPNCricinfo, the year 2018 was one of the most difficult years to bat as a Test player, with a Test wicket costing 27.37 runs and a century being scored every 28 innings.
