  • Kohli played 123 Test matches, scored 9,230 runs with 30 centuries, led India in 68 Tests, winning a record 40 as captain, and retired 770 runs short of 10,000 Test runs.
  • Kohli will continue playing ODIs and IPL, while his Test retirement, following Rohit Sharma's similar exit, signals a shift in India's longest-format leadership before the England tour.
