Virat Kohli, amidst chaotic scenes of fans gathered at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, played his first domestic red-ball game for Delhi in 12 years. The match, fraught with tension, saw Kohli bowled out for just six runs, marking a poignant end to his role in Test cricket. Despite lacking recent form, Kohli returned to the field driven by his passion for the game. With the announcement of his retirement, memories of his challenging yet glorious battles in Test cricket haunt the narrative, emphasizing the essence of perseverance and the sport itself.
As he announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, somehow the strongest memory was not of the 149 at Edgbaston or the 169 at Melbourne.
Kohli rolled up in his Porsche two days before the game, arriving early to beat the crowds and so he could fit in a full gym session before team fitness drills.
