'Does not matter how much talent...': England great decodes reason behind Virat Kohli's sudden retirement from Tests

Virat Kohli sent shockwaves through the cricket world when he announced his retirement from Test cricket recently. Regarded as one of the best red-ball leaders, the Indian star played a significant role in the team even after stepping down as captain. However, his form dipped in the previous season, during which he could score only a single century in his last 10 Test matches. The dry patch raised questions about his place in the playing eleven, and soon, an unexpected decision to call time on his Test career followed.

There has been much speculation about why Kohli retired from the Test format, and former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott has offered a fresh perspective.

According to the England legend, the Indian star may have grown tired of playing 'too much cricket'. Last year, Kohli retired from T20Is after winning the World Cup but remained a regular in ODIs and Tests. After winning the Champions Trophy earlier this year, Kohli played in the IPL for RCB and ended the franchise’s 18-year title drought this month.
