Kohli confirmed the decision through Instagram, calling Crickt test a format that tasted it and molded it. “It’s not easy, but it feels good,” he wrote. “There is something deeply personal in playing in whites. The quiet routine, the long days, the little moments that no one sees but remains with you forever.”
The final test of the unconditional Indian was against Australia in January, marking the end of a brilliant race in which it also became the most successful test captain of India.
