Virat Kohli Ends Test Cricket Comeback Rumours, Says 'I Am Done With It'

Former India captain Virat Kohli has finally put an end to the growing speculation around a possible return to red-ball cricket. The legendary top-order batter made it clear that his decision to retire from Test cricket is final and there are no plans for a comeback in the longest format of the game.

Kohli shared this important update during a high-profile brand promotional event on Sunday, 21 June 2026, where he addressed the ongoing rumours about his potential return to Test cricket.

Virat Kohli Gives Clear Message on Test Cricket Comeback Rumours

The much-discussed conversation took place during the global launch event of his One8 signature footwear collection. During the event, popular media presenter and host Danish Sait humorously pointed out an interesting detail related to a new red trainer collection launched by the brand.

The sports shoes were priced at exactly Rs 9,230, a number connected to Virat Kohli’s impressive Test cricket record, where he scored a total of 9,230 runs during his highly successful red-ball career.

Taking the opportunity to joke about the connection, Sait asked Kohli whether he would consider returning to international Test cricket, score more runs, and make the company increase the price of the shoes in the future.
