Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that Virat Kohli could come out of Test retirement if Team India suffers a heavy defeat in the five-match series against England.

Last month, Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket. Having represented India in 123 Test matches, the right-hander amassed 9,230 runs, including 30 centuries.

“I believe this. If India go to England and get flogged, if they lose the series 5-0 for example, I think the fans will want Virat Kohli to come out of retirement and play Test cricket again,” Clarke told the Beyond23 Cricket podcast.
