He has played 123 Test matches. He is also known as one of the best Test batsmen in the world. In this situation, he was expected to play Test matches for another two years but suddenly announced his retirement. Speaking about this, ravi Shastri said, "People only understand how great a player you are when you leave a place. I am very sorry for the way he retired from being a champion and selling the team in a single week. His retirement should have been handled better or proper communication should have been established with him. If I had been there, I would have announced him as the captain after the Australian Test series," said ravi Shastri.
The bcci did not establish proper communication with Virat Kohli. It is said that when he announced his retirement, no one asked him to withdraw from retirement. Also, it is said that during the Australian Test series, some bcci officials told virat kohli that he was the captain, but at the end of the australia Test series, they expressed their attitude against him. virat kohli, who was upset by such circumstances, is said to have announced his retirement from Test matches. Although he had decided to retire in April, he announced it only in May. In the intervening month, the bcci has not asked for his retirement in any way. Moreover, they have not even inquired about the reason for his retirement. They have accepted his retirement as it is. That is what ravi Shastri has expressed his displeasure about.
