As per a report by The Indian Express, Kohli has informed the BCCI that he wants to retire from Test cricket.

"He's still incredibly fit and hungry. His presence in the dressing room lifts the entire team," a senior BCCI official said on condition of anonymity.

No public announcement on the matter has been made by Kohli or BCCI yet.
