The Indian cricketing greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the iconic pair, have announced their retirements from Test cricket in May 2025. Rohit retired on May 7, and Kohli followed on May 12. Fans may miss their batting prowess, but they will miss their funny, cheeky, and unfiltered stump mic conversations that used to go viral frequently as well. Following are some of their most famous stump-mic convos over the years in the longest format of the game. Stump Mic Moments from Virat & Rohit in Test Cricket Virat Kohli’s Heated Cape Town Outburst (January 2022) Cricket peaked here, Let's Relive This Moment. 🥶Virat Kohli -"Focus on your team while they shine the ball,Not just the opposition, Trying to catch people all the time."KL Rahul -"Whole country playing against 11 guys" 😭😭😂#Rahul #INDvSA pic.twitter.com/020JB2mpQE — ' (@KLassy_devotee) December 4, 2023 In the third Test against South Africa at Cape Town, Virat Kohli was visibly upset after a DRS ruling favored Dean Elgar. Ashwin's ball to Elgar appeared to be plumb, but the ball-tracking indicated it missed the stumps due to height. This decision left Virat Kohli and the team absolutely stunned. Kohli approached the stump mic and said, "Focus on your team as well when they shine the ball, eh, not just the opposition." From that point onwards, Kohli kept on chattering and sledged batter Elgar and Petersen, attempting to divert their attention. South Africa accumulated 41 runs before Elgar was dismissed at the stroke of dusk. It was a hot day of cricket with Kohli heading the cacophony.

Though, the duo will be seen playing ODIs for India, but their absence in whites will surely be missed by everyone, not just for their batting, but also for their on-field presence and experience.
