Kohli turned up in 123 Tests for India, scoring 9230 runs with 30 hundreds at an average of 46.85. He will only play in ODIs now as he already retired from T20 Internationals last year.

Announcing his decision in an emotional note, Kohli wrote, "As I step away from this format, it's not easy — but it feels right. I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more than I could've hoped for.

"I'm walking 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," he added.

His retirement continues the exodus of Indian bigwigs from the Test arena. Ravichandran Ashwin (in December) and Rohit Sharma (last week) are the others to have called it quits in the format.

BCCI thanked Virat for his contribution to Team India. 

In a post on X, BCCI wrote, "Thank you, Virat Kohli. An era ends in Test cricket but the legacy will continue FOREVER! The former Team India Captain retires from Test cricket. His contributions to #TeamIndia will forever be cherished!"
