A Jolt ! Team India Skipper Kohli Quits From Test Captaincy; Posts Emotional Message
New Delhi, Jan 15: Virat Kohli, on Saturday announced that he is stepping down as the captain of the Indian Test team. Last year, Kohli had stepped down as the T20I captain and then he was removed as the ODI leader as the selectors wanted one captain for the white-ball format.
Kohli’s decision to leave Test captaincy comes a day after India lost the three-match Test series against South Africa on Friday.
Kohli declares his decision with an emotional post on his Social Media handle.

Virat Kohli’s biggest win in the longest format came during 2018-19 as India won its first Test series Down Under. Under his captaincy, India also reached the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC).
It needs to be pointed that Kohli has not registered a century in international cricket since November 2019. He last scored a ton against Bangladesh in the day-night Test at the Eden Gardens.
