India's Test Series in England: Kohli and Sharma's Surprising Retirement

India's Tour of England: A New Era Begins

Currently, the Indian cricket team is on a tour of England, where they will compete in a five-match Test series. However, this series will be notable for the absence of two cricketing giants, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who have both announced their retirement from Test cricket. In May, the duo shocked the cricketing world by declaring their retirement, leaving fans and fellow players astonished.

Following Kohli's retirement, reactions poured in from various quarters, including notable figures from Pakistan. Legendary batsman Javed Miandad expressed his admiration for Kohli, labeling him as the greatest player of the modern era. In an interview with Telecom Asia Sport, Miandad remarked that a player, captain, and match-winner like Kohli is rare to find. He acknowledged Kohli's passion for the game but hinted that the sudden decision to retire from Test cricket suggests there might be more to the story. Miandad believes Kohli could have easily continued playing until 2027.
