 "What is Virat Kohli's 269? Full list of Kohli's 100s and 200s in Tests")
India's batting talisman Virat Kohli on Monday announced his retirement from Test cricket ending the speculation about his future in the longest format ahead of the much-awaited India's tour of England.
The 36-year-old 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, having already retired from T20 Internationals last year.
Why did Virat Kohli use #269 in his Instagram post while announcing retirement?
Kohli was the 269th player to represent India in Test cricket. He used #269 in his instagram post while announcing retirement from Test cricket.
"It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life.
There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever.
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.
I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile.
#269, signing off."
