Kohli Shock Retirement
The former India captain announced his Test retirement just ahead of the team selection for the England tour. His announcement shocked one and all as most reckoned he had a lot of Test cricket still left in him.
He is fit and is in form with the bat and hence his call to throw in the towel would puzzle fans again if India lose the Test match at Lord's. Kohli was a true ambassador of Test cricket.

In 123 Tests, he has amassed 9230 runs at an average of 46.85. This features 30 centuries and a highest score of 254. India truly needed him at Lord's today one feels. Kohli continues to play ODI cricket and would next be seen probably in Australia during the three-match ODI series.
