Kohli calls Australia Test series 'intense disappointment', hints at retirement

Virat Kohli expressed deep disappointment over his performance during the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where India lost to Australia 3-1. After starting strong with an unbeaten century in the first Test, Kohli struggled significantly, ultimately scoring only 190 runs in nine innings. He described this tour as 'the most intense kind of disappointment' in his career, reflecting on his inability to maintain momentum and his recurring struggles against deliveries outside off stump. Kohli hinted at the possibility of not touring Australia again, suggesting that this could be his last opportunity, which adds to his sense of closure regarding this chapter of his career. Despite his struggles, he maintained a perspective of acceptance regarding his performances and emphasized the need for players to make peace with their career outcomes. Kohli's future in Test cricket remains uncertain, particularly concerning his participation in red-ball matches in Australia.
