Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers, weighing in on Virat Kohli's recent decision to retire from Test cricket, described it as a deeply personal choice. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this month, ahead of India's five-match Test series against England. Kohli's retirement marked the end of an era for Indian cricket. 

“He must have listened to his heart. He followed his gut feeling. He has done a lot for cricket around the world over the years, and luckily, we will still see him on the cricket field," De Villiers said as quoted by ANI.

“He will be missed in Test matches. He leaves a great legacy in the red ball," de Villiers said.

Kohli called time on an amazing 14-year career in the longest format. He ended his Test career with 9230 runs at 46.85 from 123 Tests. Kohli has also been impressive in IPL 2025, amassing 614 runs in 14 innings at an average of 55.82.
