Virat Kohli’s resignation as India’s Test captain marked the end of a glorious era. The Delhi-born on Saturday took to his official social accounts and had a blast. The decision comes a day after his team lost the 3-match Test series to South Africa.
The reason behind this shocking move is something that only Kohli knows. Months after stepping down as T20I captain and being sacked as ODI captain, the 33-year-old took the same call in the longest format of the game. With the burden of captaincy not on his shoulders, the ‘run-machine’ Virat is now expected to return to the field and experts feel the same way.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is the latest to join the bandwagon who welcomed Virat’s decision. Speaking with Sama TV, the former all-rounder said that the ace Indian batsman has played enough cricket to know what is right for him.
“I think it’s okay. Virat has played a lot of cricket and captained the team well. And I believe it’s the right decision. There comes a stage where you can’t handle the pressure, and that’s because That affects your own performance. So, I think he has captained for a long time and at a great level. As a batsman, the time has come for him to enjoy his cricket,” Afridi said. .
Kohli goes on to become the best Test captain for India. The team played 68 matches under his leadership, winning 40 and losing 17. He is fourth in the list of captains with the most Test wins after Graeme Smith, Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh.
