'Only those with a story to tell succeed in Test cricket': Anushka Sharma shares heartwarming post for husband Virat Kohli following red-ball retirement

"That's why only those with a story to tell succeed in Test cricket. A story so long and deep that it doesn't care for the pitch conditions - grass, dry, home or away," read the part of the post Grover wrote.  

Here's the rest of the post written by Grover -

Test cricket is special because it is a narrative sport. 

So many variables - four innings, five days, twenty-two specialists, changing weather (sometimes several times in a day), humidity in the air, the condition of the pitch, luck determined by a coin toss, and constantly evolving mental calculations. Although every sport reflects some aspect of life, but Test cricket is like literary novel - combining many different genres into one. 

Virat Kohli is the biggest character of this novel over the last decade. He not only lived the different emotions of the game but also enriched them. 

A lot has been written about what he gave to the team and India, but he became something rare for Test cricket - a sensitive, drama-loving hero who looks good both laughing and crying, winning and losing.
