Top achievements of Virat Kohli in Test Cricket

King Kohli has officially taken off his baggy blue cap after a 14-year-long historic test career. Over all these years, he made test cricket more lively and engaging, especially to the fans who get tired of the long days of tests. The cricket’s long format is also Kohli’s favourite format, and he lives to play that over and over again.

But the 38-year-old is now in the last phase of his career and doesn’t have a lot many years left in him. So he has to swallow this tough pill to announce retirement from tests and solely focus on ODI games. In these 14 years, he has achieved some of the biggest records in test history, and let us look at those milestones one by one.
