Having spoken about Virat Kohli’s retirement from Test cricket-a very surprising development for many, especially after Rohit’s recent retirement-Gibbs thinks the mental challenges of international cricket were finally too much for Virat. Gibbs said, “It happens to everyone. Time comes to an end. The mental pressures catch up with players, and Virat is no different.
According to Dilshan, Virat’s retirement will be a huge loss to India as he held the 4th position for so long; however, there will surely be a worthy fill-in for Virat, who amassed 9,230 Test runs. Dilshan said: “He’s made the decision at the right time, and it’s tough for a newcomer to fill his shoes, but India will find someone.”
