Team India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli has made it clear that he will never return to Test cricket. He has already retired from T20. Kohli, who plays only ODI format, can play his last match for India in the World Cup next year. Virat is still fitter than the young players. Despite this, his not playing Test cricket hurts Indian fans. India’s most successful Test captain Virat had suddenly announced his retirement from Test cricket. Everyone was surprised by this decision of Virat. Now Wasim Jaffer has spoken openly about this and made many revelations.
Virat had announced his retirement from Test cricket on 12 May 2025. Now Wasim Jaffer has revealed on his YouTube channel that Virat was angry with the way he was being treated. For this reason, Virat and Rohit had retired from Test cricket within a span of 5 days.
Virat’s career could have been longer
Wasim Jaffer said, ‘It seemed that Virat was a little angry with the way he was treated. A player like Virat draws people to the field. He has huge fans. He definitely could have played more Test cricket. We won’t know until we hear from Virat himself. He was preparing for a tour of England.
Statements of Delhi coach and Agarkar contradict each other
Delhi coach Sarandeep Singh had expressed surprise at Virat’s retirement. Virat was playing Ranji for Delhi in January 2025, as BCCI had made it mandatory for all players to play domestic cricket. During this time, Kohli had shared his plan with the Delhi coach. According to Sarandeep, he wanted to play on the England tour and was dreaming of scoring three-four centuries. Kohli had also talked about playing two India A matches before the series. However, Agarkar’s statement was different. He said that Virat contacted him in the beginning of April and said that he wanted to retire. What happened in 2 months that changed Virat’s plan? It is still a secret.
