After having been one of India’s most successful Test captains with 40 wins, @imVkohli deserved a better farewell as captain. #Legend

Virat Kohli gave up Test captaincy when it came to dropping Rahane. The bond. ❤

Thank you #ViratKohli for everything you have done for 🇮🇳 and Test cricket as Captain 💙 pic.twitter.com/UoVqC2TdP0
Past 12 months or so hv been tough for #Kohli. T20WC failure was disappointing, losing series to SA even more so. But biggest setback I believe was not winning WTC final. His desire to excel in Test cricket – as batsman & captain – was always manifest. Probably wants to unburden

That’s a great list to be part of, @imVkohli.

When Virat took over as Test captain, India winning a test overseas was an achievement, now if India lose an overseas test series it is an upset. And that's how far he has taken Indian cricket forward, and that will be his legacy. Congratulations on successful reign @imVkohli 👏🏻 pic.twitter.com/My2MOXNwMc
