# Cricket: Indian batting legend Virat Kohli has retired from Test cricket with immediate effect, bringing his 14-year career to an end. The 36-year-old retires having scored nine-thousand-230 runs from his 123 Tests, with 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries. Kohli says this longest format of the game has tested and shaped him, and taught him lessons he will carry for life. He adds he is walking away with a heart full of gratitude. Kohli’s retirement comes after Rohit Sharma also called time on his Test career last week.
