After India’s thumping victory at Edgbaston, Virat Kohli took to social media to laud the team’s performance, calling it a “great victory” and praising Shubman Gill’s leadership, Siraj and Akash’s bowling, and the team’s all-round effort. Kohli, who stepped away from Test cricket earlier this year, has left a void that’s still fresh for fans. And as Team India powers ahead in this new phase, the longing to see the former captain back in whites — especially in English conditions where he has often dominated — continues to linger. Virat Kohli took to X to praise the team’s performance. He wrote, “Great victory for India at Edgbaston. Fearless and kept pushing England to the wall. Brilliantly led by Shubman with the bat and in the field and impactful performances from everyone. Special mention to Siraj and Akash for the way they bowled on this pitch.” Television actor Nakuul Mehta echoed what many fans were feeling. Quote-tweeting Kohli, he wrote, “Feels so strange to see a Kohli tweet like the other retired cricketers. He should/could have been playing and making a pile of runs on these English pitches. Come out of this premature retirement!” In May, Virat Kohli made the announcement that he will be retiring from Test cricket. In the caption, he wrote that although it was a hard decision, he felt now was the right time to step away. Kohli thanked his teammates, fans, and everyone who supported him. He said he will always look back on his Test career with pride and a smile. “It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life. There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever,” he wrote.
