Virat retires after Rohit.
Virat's sudden retirement from this format is a big setback for India because, on Wednesday, regular captain Rohit also retired from Tests. Fans are shocked by the retirement of two legendary players within a week. With this, a chapter in Indian Test cricket has come to an end. India has to tour England next month. During this, the team will play a five-match Test series.

'Virat was surprised by the announcement of retirement'
Delhi's head coach Sarandeep has expressed surprise at Virat's decision. He said that when Virat came to play the Ranji match after 12 years, he had said that he wanted to score three centuries on the England tour. Sarandeep said on Jio Hotstar, 'I was surprised to hear Kohli's retirement announcement. I spoke to him before the Ranji match, he said that he wants to play and also told me about the wicket. He showed a lot of participation, I have not seen this from any big player who comes to play Ranji after playing Test for a long time. He used to come to the ground at 8:00 am instead of 9:15 am for practice, and he also did gym.'

'He was preparing for the England tour'

During this, Sarandeep told that Virat had expressed his desire to repeat his brilliant performance of 2018 in England. On this tour, Virat scored 593 runs with the help of two centuries and three half-centuries. Sarandeep further said- 'He was preparing for the England tour. He told me that he is trying to repeat his performance of 2018 in England. We could see in his preparation. We did not see anything that indicated that he wanted to retire from Tests. Now, everyone is surprised. Virat himself must know the reason.'

Did Kohli want to play two matches for India A?

Delhi team head coach Sarandeep claimed that Virat was planning to play two matches for India A. After this, he would also play in the five-match Test series against England. He further said, 'We talked a few days ago and I did not see anything that indicated his retirement plans. He is in great form in the IPL. I asked him if he would play some county cricket for preparation and he told me that I will play two matches of India A and then prepare for the Test against England. This is really surprising. He was talking during Ranji that I want to score 3-4 centuries in England.'
