Resigning, Virat Kohli also shared a long post on Twitter, in which he wrote – 7 years of hard work and tireless efforts to take the Indian team in the right direction. I did my work sincerely and never gave up on it. Everyone has to stop when they come to a stage. Now this time has come for me also as Test captain. There were many ups and downs during this journey, but my efforts and confidence never dwindled. Virat said that I always want to contribute 120% in everything, if I am not able to do that then it will be wrong. I am very clear about this and I cannot be dishonest with my team.
