Virat Kohli Retires: Former India captain retired from Test cricket recently and now head coach Gautam Gambhir is getting trolled as fans reckon he was behind Kohli's abrupt call. Kohli, who is arguably the best to have ever held a bat, took to Instagram on Monday and made his decision public. Gambhir spoke of the existent ‘superstar’ culture in the Indian dressing-room after the loss against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
And of course, no one is a bigger superstar than Kohli. This is a major reason why fans believe Gambhir was very much behind Kohli's untimely call.
Following Kohli's untimely call, Gambhir took to social media to pay tribute to India's former Test captain. Gambhir's post read: "A man with lion’s passion! Will miss u cheeks…."
And then, here is how fans reacted to Gambhir's post on Kohli.
Meanwhile, Kohli will continue to feature in the blues for India in ODIs and will also donn the red for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In his last Test series, Kohli managed to score 190 runs in five Tests in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. His form was not good and that was a also a major reason why the side could not successfully hold onto the BGT silverware.
Currently, Kohli is featuring in the now-suspended IPL where he is the Orange Cap holder with 505 runs in 11 games. He is also a major reason why RCB find themselves in the second spot currently.
