Kohli's retirement comes just days before India is set to announce their Test squad for the upcoming five-match series against England, starting on June 20. Having played 123 Test matches for India, Kohli retired as the country’s fourth-highest run-scorer and century-maker in red-ball cricket. He is also India’s most successful Test captain, having led the team in 68 matches and secured 40 victories.
