I know how much all this took from you. After every Test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you'd retire international cricket in whites — But you've always followed your heart, and so I just want to say my love, you've earned every bit of this goodbye.'

The actress, who often cheers for her husband from the stands, has been a pillar of support through his cricketing highs and lows. Together, they have often sought moments of solace away from the limelight, including a recent visit to Vrindavan, where they received blessings from Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj along with their children, Vamika and Akaay. Virat Kohli's Surprising Test Retirement The spiritual detour comes just days after Virat Kohli stunned fans by announcing his retirement from Test cricket — a decision that, according to chief selector Ajit Agarkar, had been made as early as April. 'Virat reached out to us in early April and said he had made up his mind to retire from Test cricket,' Agarkar revealed during a press conference on May 24. In an emotional social media post, Kohli reflected on the journey that began in Kingston, Jamaica, in 2011: 'It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket... It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life.' The 36-year-old, often considered the face of modern Indian cricket, retires with 9,230 runs in 113 Test matches making him India's fourth-highest run-scorer in the format. His contribution went far beyond numbers; Kohli redefined India's approach in whites, instilling aggression, discipline, and an unmatched work ethic. Kohli's Emotional Note Kohli's retirement note was a heartfelt tribute to the format he held dearest: 'As I step away from this format, it's not easy but it feels right. I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more... I'll always look back at my Test career with a smile.' The visit to Ayodhya appears to have been a way to mark this transition not with noise, but with silence and prayer..
