New Delhi. In the last 48 hours, two veterans of Indian cricket decided to leave Test cricket and surprised the fans. First Rohit Sharma said goodbye to this format and now the news of retirement of Virat Kohli has also come out from the test. A BCCI official has said that Virat Kohli is still fit and hungry to score and win runs. His presence increases the morale of the entire team. The board has requested him to consider the decision to retire from Test cricket, especially when the England series of five Test matches is coming closer.

According to an IANS report, Kohli recently told BCCI his desire to retire from Test cricket. Kohli made his Test debut 14 years ago and in the last 10 years, India's red-ball is among the cricketers who gave new identity to cricket. According to IANS, the official said, “He is still very fit and hungry. His presence in the dressing room increases the morale of the entire team. We have requested him to take some time before taking the final decision.”

Kohli's aggression and brilliant batting have helped India convert India into a strong Test team in both domestic and foreign places. Kohli's presence at the crease with more than 9000 runs and 30 centuries in the Test is no less. The BCCI does not want to leave them right now. Top officials have contacted Kohli and requested him to reconsider his decision, especially when important tours are in front.

India is ready to go on a challenging foreign calendar. Which includes the tour of England where his experience can prove to be very important. Although the star Indian batsman has not made any public statement on the matter, the fans and former cricketers have brought a flood of support messages on social media, hoping that Kohli will give Test cricket another chance.
