News India Live, Digital Desk: Virat kohli: Former Indian team captain Virat Kohli said goodbye to the Test format on Monday (May 12). Earlier, after retiring from T20 cricket, Kohli also officially announced his retirement from the longest format of cricket. With this, now he will be seen only as a batsman in the ODI format.
However, before the announcement of Virat Kohli’s retirement, it was hoped that BCCI would convince Kohli to play a five -Test series against England from June 20. But, now it seems that the BCCI has warned Virat Kohli.
BCCI’s tough decision ..
Virat Kohli has been struggling to score every run in the Test format for a long time. Kohli performed very poorly in the last two Test series against New Zealand and Australia. He then failed to make a place in the team for the tour of England.
Instead of preventing Kohli’s retirement, the BCCI has warned him that he will not be included in the team for the tour of England due to poor form. At the same time, the report states that the BCCI does not request any player to play, but this decision is the player’s personal. The BCCI has clearly stated that it will not interfere in any way.
Kohli is going to become captain again ..!
It is known that on Wednesday 7 May 7, Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma announced his retirement through Instagram. However, it has now been revealed that after Rohit, BCCI is considering making Virat Kohli captain for the tour of England. BCCI sources said the selectors are considering making Virat Kohli a captain for the England tour to give Gill a chance to play an important role for some time.
‘Gill is only 25 years old and is still not in good form. At the same time, BCCI sources also said that Gill Ajit Agarkar is the first choice of the selection committee led by Jaspreet Bumrah.
Virat Kohli’s form is not supporting him ..
India’s best batsman Virat Kohli’s playing with red ball remains a matter of concern. In the last 5 years, Kohli’s average has been less than 30 in this format. Virat Kohli played a total of 69 innings for India from 2020 to 2024-25. In this, he scored only 3 centuries and 9 half -centuries. Kohli scored 190 runs in five matches in Australia. In the match against New Zealand, he could score only 93 runs at an average of 15.50.
