Anything I write for you, paji, will never truly capture what I feel or the impact you’ve had on me.

From watching you bat when I was 13 and wondering how someone could bring that kind of energy to the field - to sharing the field with you and realizing no one else possibly can - you’ve not just inspired a generation, you’ve reshaped the mindset of millions.

I know how much Test cricket meant to you, and I hope our generation can carry forward that same fire and commitment.

Thank you for everything.
Happy retirement, @imVkohli paji.

March 2017, Dharamsala — you gave me my Test cap, Virat bhai. I knew you had my back from Day 1
You didn’t just lead a team, you led a mindset. With the bat, you gave us belief. Grateful to start my journey under you. Happy retirement bhai ♥️🫂

Virat, you've left an indelible mark on Test cricket. Your passion was infectious, your fire relentless, and your legacy will inspire generations.. Thank you for everything. Happy retirement, legend.. @imVkohli #ViratKohli

As you retire from Tests, I'm reminded of your thoughtful gesture 12 years ago, during my last Test. You offered to gift me a thread from your late father. It was something too personal for me to accept, but the gesture was heartwarming and has stayed with me ever since. While I may not have a thread to offer in return, please know that you carry my deepest admiration and very best wishes.

Your true legacy, Virat, lies in inspiring countless young cricketers to pick up the sport.

What an incredible Test career you have had! You have given Indian cricket so much more than just runs – you have given it a new generation of passionate fans and players.

Congratulations on a very special Test career.

"Virat Kohli has taken retirement from Test cricket, today is not the day to talk about cricket. Like every Indian, he's always my favourite". 🫡❤️

[Nitish Kumar Reddy @NKReddy07]

I was overwhelmed with joy when I found out that my idol, the very one I grew up watching dominate in whites for the country, would be the one to hand me my Test cap. “ Cap Number 315, Nitish Reddy” - these words will forever echo in my heart. The energy. The passion. The warmth. The fight. You showed it all in this format. A true torchbearer who renewed our love for Test cricket. I’ll always treasure the moments we shared on the field together.❤️
