The intention behind the video was to declare that Kohli is afraid of facing the English Pacers on English soil.

According to a report, Kohli wishes to leave the longest format of the game and has already communicated the same to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee.

Although a very influential figure in the Indian cricket spectrum would have been invited to intervene in the matter, it was also reported that Kohli did not want to change his position.

According to the Times of India, Kohli was invited to reassess his position on the release of the test format, especially after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the red ball cricket, but he is not ready to move.

The BCCI would have spoken to Kohli in the matter, stressing how its very inexperienced average in the middle order of India is important, but the striker has decided.

“Kohli had informed the selectors two weeks ago of his desire to leave the tests. They tried to persuade him to play in the series of tests against England. However, he is still firm in his position. The final call will be close to the selection meeting next week,” said the newspaper a source.
