Oval Test on a Knife’s Edge, Shashi Tharoor's Emotional Appeal: “Virat, the Nation Needs You”

The final Test match of the ongoing series between India and England at The Oval has reached a thrilling stage. At the end of Day 4, India needs just 4 wickets to win, while England is only 35 runs away from victory. The result of this match will be decided today.

In this context, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has shared an emotional post about Virat Kohli. He wrote, “I missed Virat Kohli many times during this series, but never as much as I did during this Test match. His patience, energy, inspirational presence on the field, and brilliant batting might have delivered a different result. Virat, the country needs you. Can you not consider coming back from retirement?”

It is noteworthy that before this England series, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had announced their retirement from Test cricket. Virat's Test career was exceptional — he played 123 matches, 210 innings, and scored 9,320 runs, including 30 centuries and 7 double centuries.

Now, the big questions are — who will win today's match? And, like Shashi Tharoor, will millions of Indian fans be able to inspire Virat to reconsider his retirement decision?
