India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli announced his retirement from the Test format and one of the most surprising thing that has surfaced is fans are blaming his wife Anushka Sharma for the decision. There were reports earlier that he has already communicated to BCCI about his retirement but despite all efforts to stop him, Kohli has given the final verdict. In his post on Instagram, he expressed his gratitude towards the format and mentioned that this was the right time to walk away.
Fans React After Virat Kohli Announces Retirement
Virat Kohli shocked everyone with his decision to retire from the Test format even before he reached 10,000 runs and fans have taken the internet by a storm and are brutally trolling his wife Anushka Sharma.
