Virat Kohli announced his retirement just days before the Indian squad for the five-Test series against England was set to be revealed<\/a>. Former India coach Ravi Shastri believes Kohli\u2019s departure from Test cricket could have been managed more thoughtfully, as the star deserved a proper farewell.

Virat Kohl ended his Test career last month, having played 123 matches, scored 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, including 30 centuries. \u201cIt\u2019s only when you leave that people truly realize what a great player he was. I feel sad about how he left the game. I think it could have been handled better, with more communication,\u201d Shastri said in a video shared by SonyLiv on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
