Virat Kohli’s greatest Test theatre in Australia now a curtain call?

Speculations over star India batter Virat Kohli's Test career continue to take over the internet as the 36-year-old expressed his intentions to retire from white clothing to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following a disastrous Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia away from home.  The 36-year-old’s most recent memory in Test cricket remains a haunting image, visibly helpless, distraught, and seething with frustration after falling yet again to an outside off-stump delivery from Scott Boland during the Australia tour. In many ways, Australia has mirrored Virat Kohli’s journey, a land where he transformed from a fiery prodigy to a dominant force, and ultimately, a veteran battling the inevitable decline brought on by age, fading instincts, and the unforgiving passage of time.
