Currently, millions of Indian cricket fans are possibly having that one thought in their mind of Virat Kohli's possible return to Test cricket by reversing his retirement call. During the ongoing series against England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, India missed Virat Kohli, the captain.
Recently, in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has echoed what millions of Indian fans right now have on their minds. India is on the brink of their fourth consecutive Test series defeat on English soil since 2007.
"I’ve been missing Virat Kohli a few times during this series, but never as much as in this Test match. His grit and intensity, his inspirational presence in the field, not to mention his abundant batting skills, might have led to a different outcome. Is it too late to call him out of retirement? Virat, the nation needs you," Tharoor tweeted through his X handle.

Kohli announced his Test retirement on the 12th of May, just a few days after the reports suggested his possible retirement from the format he loved the most.
However, despite his great success in several nations, Virat Kohli has had limited success as a skipper in England, since he is not among the Indian captains to win a series on English soil. Only Ajit Wadekar, Kapil Dev, and Rahul Dravid are among such Indian names.
