Beard Dyed, Time to Retire! – Kohli Cracks Up Fans Over Test Exit

Virat Kohli Breaks Silence on Test Retirement with a Beard Joke That’s Going Viral

Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has finally opened up about his shocking Test retirement — and his quirky comment is taking social media by storm.

Speaking at a fundraising dinner hosted by Yuvraj Singh’s charitable foundation, Kohli addressed the topic of Test cricket retirement for the first time in public. When the host mentioned that fans still miss him on the field, Kohli responded with a smile:
“I dyed my beard two days ago — and when you need to do that every four days, you know it’s time!”

The light-hearted jab had the audience in splits, but Kohli also took a moment to reflect on his Test journey — especially his strong bond with coach Ravi Shastri.

“If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t have achieved what I did in Test cricket without Ravi bhai. The clarity and connection we shared is rare — and crucial for a player’s growth,” he said.

Kohli’s sudden retirement had stunned the cricket world, especially since he had often publicly declared his love for the longest format. But just before the 2025 England tour, he walked away from Test cricket — leaving fans and experts surprised.

Meanwhile, cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar recently dropped a surprising hint about the chances of both Rohit Sharma and Kohli featuring in the 2027 World Cup — keeping fans curious and hopeful.
