Varun Grover shared a heartfelt post that said,
“That’s why only those with a story to tell succeed in Test cricket. A story so long and deep that it doesn’t care for the pitch conditions – grass, dry, home, or away,”
He went on to explain how Test cricket is a long and tough journey, where things like pitch conditions don’t matter if the player has true passion and purpose.
He also wrote,
“Thank you @virat.kohli. You brought the precision of a surgeon and the passion of a stage performer to this game of inches, played in yards.”
This beautiful quote was originally from famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle.

Kohli’s Retirement Shocks Fans Before Big England Tour
Virat Kohli’s decision to retire from Tests comes just before India’s five-match Test series in England, set to begin after the IPL 2025 ends. With both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli now retired from the longest format, India will be missing two of its most experienced players for this very important overseas series.
This sudden change has left fans and experts wondering:
- Who will lead the team forward?
- How will the younger players handle the pressure?
- Can India continue its strong Test performance without these two legends?
It’s clearly a transition phase for Indian cricket, and the upcoming England series will test the team’s strength and depth.
