Ambati Rayudu Special Appeal to Virat Kohli: On Saturday, Indian fans got a big shock when a report came out that Virat Kohli has made up his mind to retire from the Test format. It was claimed that King Kohli has also told the BCCI about this. Many former cricketers are also shocked by this report, including the name of former Chennai Super Kings star batsman Ambati Rayudu. He has appealed to Kohli not to retire from the Test format.
Ambati Rayudu has requested
Ambati Rayudu has requested to reconsider the decision to retire. He believes that this star batsman still has a lot left. Rayudu wrote in his tweet,
“Virat Kohli please do not retire. The Indian team needs you more than ever. You still have a lot left. Test cricket will not be the same without you playing for Team India. Please reconsider your decision.”
Ambati Rayudu: If media reports are to be believed, BCCI also does not want Kohli to say goodbye to Test cricket right now. Some senior officials of the board have asked him to reconsider his decision. After Rohit, if Kohli also suddenly says goodbye to Test cricket, it can create problems for Team India.
Virat Kohli please don’t retire.. The Indian team needs you more than ever. You have so much more in the tank. Test cricket will not be the same without you walking out to battle it out for Team India.. Please reconsider..

It is worth noting that Rohit Sharma surprised everyone by announcing his retirement from the Test format by sharing a story on Instagram on May 7. The Hitman will now be seen wearing the Indian team jersey only in the ODI format. The BCCI had made up its mind to remove Rohit from the captaincy of the Test format and within a short time of this report coming out, the explosive batsman announced his retirement.
The BCCI knows that India’s tour of England will not be easy and in such a situation, it is very important to have a player more experienced than Kohli in the team. Now it remains to be seen whether Kohli reconsiders his decision or not.
