Some fans have also gone on to cite Sachin Tendulkar's example. Tendulkar, who is considered to be the epitome of batsmanship, called it a day from the longer version of the game at the age of 40. Here are some of the comments from the fans who are distraught and heartbroken.

Kohli is in good form in white-ball cricket. He may not have had the best of Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year in Australia, yet he remains as one of India's finest in Test cricket as well with 8,895 runs to his name in 105 matches, including 27 centuries.

Not long back, Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket as well. There is also a theory doing the rounds which claims that Rohit's decision may have had a bearing on Kohli's call. Not much can be confirmed at this point in time.
