Virat Kohli shocked the cricket world by announcing his retirement from Test captaincy on Saturday evening, just one day after India lost an unexpected series to a second-string South Africa.

After MS Dhoni stood down in the middle of the series against Australia in 2014, Kohli was given the reigns of the team and went on to become India’s most successful captain.

Kohli, perhaps the greatest advocate for the five-day game, led India to new heights throughout his time, transforming the squad into a force to be reckoned with in every situation.

Kohli made the declaration amid difficult ties with the BCCI, which dismissed him as ODI captain after the star batter opted to step down from the T20 captaincy.
