END OF AN ERA?

Virat Kohli announced his decision to resign as India’s Test captain with posts on his social media handles on Saturday. The 33-year-old stepped down from the position as India’s most successful captain in the longest format in history.

Kohli was appointed Test captain back in 2014 when Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped down in the middle of the series against Australia.

Kohli’s announcement came a day after India lost the Test series in South Africa 1-2.

The right-hander led India to the top of world rankings and during his tenure, the team recorded a memorable series win in Australia.

He had resigned as T20I captain at the end of the World Cup last year and was later removed from his position as ODI captain.
