With 9230 runs in 123 Tests, the former Indian captain retires as the fourth-highest run-getter for the country in the format.

"I know how much all this took from you" - Anushka Sharma on Virat Kohli's Test retirement

Taking to Instagram, Anushka wrote that it has been an absolute privilege watching him play the longest format of the game and believes Kohli earned the right to walk on his terms.

"They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire international cricket in whites — But you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye."
