Virat Kohli, one of the few most celebrated modern legends, has shocked the cricketing fraternity by announcing a sudden retirement. Postretirement, many of the former cricketers have congratulated him for his Test journey and have expressed their shock. Michael Vaughan, the former England cricketer, has expressed the same feeling, saying that his retirement has disappointed him genuinely. That Kohli won't don his favorite whites on the field in the English summer made Vaughan gutted. In a column for the Telegraph, Vaughan wrote, "There are not too many Test retirements where I am left genuinely disappointed that I won't watch a cricketer play again. But I'm gutted we won't see Virat Kohli in England this summer or in whites any more.I'm shocked that he's retiring now, and I'm also quite sad about it. In my time involved in the game, stretching back more than 30 years, I don't believe there is any individual who has done more for the Test format than Virat." Kohli’s Test Legacy Reverberates Globally Virat Kohli retired as India's most successful Test captain with 40 wins in 60 matches. Former England captain Michael Vaughan credited Kohli for reigniting India's passion for red-ball cricket, stating that Test cricket would have been a "far blander place" without him. Vaughan recalled his worries when Kohli first took over, saying, "I was worried India was losing interest in Test cricket." He praised Kohli for fostering love for the format, noting, "The game needs India to be madly in love with Test cricket, and that is what Virat fostered as captain." Vaughan also rated Kohli as the greatest player across all formats, calling his retirement a "blow to Test cricket" and disappointing for fans, especially in England. He added, "He has helped forge a love for the format among the generation that will follow him." Vaughan concluded that Kohli is likely "the greatest player when you consider all three formats" since the introduction of T20 cricket.
