Ravi Shastri opens up about Virat Kohli’s emotional Test retirement and calls for better communication in Indian cricket. Fans are still in shock over Kohli’s exit before the England tour.

When Legends Walk Away Too Soon

In a shocker of a move, just when people were getting used to Rohit Sharma taking the foot out of Tests Virat Kohli lifted a sledgehammers. Kohli shocked the cricket world, Kohli took to social media and unleashed a bomb — the emotional one — stating Retirement from Test cricket is just around the corner in IPL 2025. It was not just timing (Premraj already premiered this year) that bombarded fans but in doing so, he did so without even looking at the 10,000 Run milestone in his favorite format.

Shastri Still Feels the Burn

Ravi Shastri, who had a deep emotional connection to Kohli after almost 5 years in the dressing room at Team India recently spoke up about the issue. Interview with Ravi Kant, the sacked coach said in his words, “It hurts. The people will only come to understand what a titan he was, now he is not. But I do think how he left, quietly; do not feel he was done justice.

Blame It on Broken Communication

Shastri’s pain isn’t just Kohli stepping down as he feels Indian cricket often fails to convey well enough for its supporters. “There should’ve been more chatting. He said if I really was in control, I would’ve made him Test captain post that Australia tour, loads of internal bungling and lost chances.

From Records to Reverence

With Kohli’s Test innings to 130: 9,230 runs and 30 centuries says it all Kohli was still a year shy of 10K when he said his red-ball say. Less than just shy of the 10K, he dropped his left-hander cap as well. Not him either, no press conference or goodbye match. He didn’t chase the stats — he showed up on the field his way. Admirable? Yes. Painful? In a WORSE man era.
