On Virat Kohli's Test Retirement, Anushka Sharma's 1st Reaction: "Remember The Tears You..."

Virat Kohli's wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, wrote a heartfelt message following his retirement from Test cricket.

Anushka also expressed her surprise that Kohli had chosen to retire from Test cricket so early.

"Somehow, I always imagined you'd retire from international cricket in whites - But you've always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you've earned every bit of this goodbye," Anushka further wrote.

Anushka is a frequent presence at India's matches, and Kohli has often dedicated his centuries to his wife.

The official announcement of Kohli's retirement comes just days after reports came out that he had informed the BCCI of his decision to quit Test cricket. The 36-year-old, as a result, will not be playing in India's upcoming five-match Test series in England in June.

Kohli, thereby, retires as India's most successful Test captain. Having led India in more than half of the Tests he played, Kohli won a staggering 40 out of his 68 games as captain. His win percentage of 58.82 is the highest for any Indian captain who has led in 10 Tests or more.
