Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket in May 2025 shocked fans, especially when it came to the United States and West Indies after India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory came after less than a year after leaving T20I. He announced his test retirement just before the tour of England.
The right -handed batsman was expected to return to India’s colors this month, but the adjournment of India’s visit to Bangladesh delayed his return. Now, he is expected to attend India’s limited overs tour of Australia, including three ODIs and five T20Is in October.
