Nakuul Mehta Gets Emotional Over Virat Kohli’s Test Retirement — His Message Will Touch Every Fan’s Heart: WATCH
On May 12, 2025, Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, ending a glorious 14-year journey. His sudden decision shocked fans across the country. Among those deeply moved was actor Nakuul Mehta, who shared a heartfelt tribute that perfectly expressed what millions of Indians were feeling.
Nakuul Mehta’s Emotional Goodbye
In a touching video shared online, the Ishqbaaaz actor said:
“Some farewells don’t feel like an ending—they feel like a punch to the gut. Virat Kohli.”
His voice cracked as he remembered the joy, pride, and excitement Kohli brought to cricket fans. Nakuul shared that his 4-year-old son already calls Kohli the greatest, just because his “dada” (dad) feels it so deeply.
Reliving Kohli’s Great Moments
Nakuul didn’t just praise Kohli for his runs or records. He talked about the memorable Test moments that defined Kohli’s career—like his 141 at Adelaide in 2014, and the 149 at Edgbaston in 2018, his first century in England.
“What he gave us can’t be measured in stats,” Nakuul said. “He made us a team that could win anywhere in the world. He created the strongest pace attack India has ever seen. And he made Test cricket cool again.”
More Than Just a Player
To fans like Nakuul, Virat Kohli wasn’t just a cricketer—he was an emotion. As a captain, his energy, discipline, and passion changed the way India played Test matches. Now, with Kohli stepping away from red-ball cricket, many fans feel lost.
“I’m not saying thank you yet… because I’m not ready,” Nakuul added, capturing what many feel.
Anushka Sharma’s Emotional Post
Kohli’s wife, actress Anushka Sharma, also shared a touching note on Instagram:
“They’ll talk about your stats, but I’ll remember the tears you never showed. I always thought you’d retire wearing whites, but you’ve always followed your heart.”
A Big Change in Indian Cricket
Kohli’s retirement comes shortly after Rohit Sharma also announced his exit from Test cricket. With both senior batters stepping away, Indian cricket is now at a turning point. The team’s next big challenge? A five-match Test series in England, starting June 20, 2025.
Kohli Reflects on His Journey
Looking back, Kohli wrote:
“It’s not easy, but it feels right. Fourteen years of wearing the Indian Test cap—it’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll never forget.”
📝 Virat Kohli may have left Test cricket, but the memories, pride, and passion he brought will stay forever. For many, it’s not just the end of a career—it feels like the end of an era.
