On Saturday evening, Virat took to Twitter to announce the relinquishment of his Test captaincy. While issuing a message, he thanked the BCCI for giving him the opportunity to captain the team. Kohli wrote, “Last 7 years of hard work and dedication took us to show the team right”. I did my work with utmost sincerity and did not leave any stone unturned in it. Everything has to stop at some point or the other. Now that time has come for me as a Test captain.
There were many ups and downs in this journey for me and there were ups and downs in my personal career as well, but during this time there was never any lack of effort on my part or there was a lack of confidence in myself. I have always given my 120 percent in whatever I have done and if one is not able to do so then I know that it will not be right to do it. My heart is completely clear about this one thing and I cannot be dishonest towards my team.
