India's star batsman Virat Kohli, on January 15, dropped a bombshell by stepping down from his Test captaincy post following the unexpected series defeat against South Africa.


Virat Kohli was appointed as Test captain back in 2014 when MS Dhoni stepped down in the middle of the series against Australia. 


"Everything has to come to a halt at some stage and for me as Test captain of India, it's now. There have been many ups and also some downs along the journey but there has never been lack of effort or lack of belief," Virat Kohli had written in a statement which he went on to post on Twitter, taking everyone by surprise.


Since Kohli's announcement, many cricketers took to Twitter to congratulate and praise Virat for his achievements and success as India's Test captain.

Virat Kohli's wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma also shared a heartfelt note on Instagram for him.
