When asked about Virat Kohli's retirement, the 1983 World Cup winner said, "Succession policy must be clear."

Conversations regarding Virat Kohli's retirement from Test cricket have been rekindled by his recent slump in form. Former player Atul Wassan, who has averaged 24.52 in 10 games this season, says the team's administration and future structure need a clear succession plan.

Due to his inability to score runs and his ongoing issues with deliveries outside the stump, veteran Indian batsman Virat Kohli is once again in the news. After scoring a century in the opening Border Gavaskar Trophy match in Perth, Kohli's bat has remained quiet ever since.

This year, Kohli has participated in 10 games and amassed 417 runs at an average of 24.52. A increasing number of cricket enthusiasts are expressing their opinion that the seasoned batsman ought to declare his retirement from Test cricket and let a younger player take his place in light of his recent performances. Atul Wassan, a former player for India and a member of the team that won the 1983 World Cup, recently shared his thoughts on the subject.

"Virat has runs, but he also knows what's happening," Wassan remarked in an interview with ANI. They have an extremely well-organized mind. "My best is around the corner" is a constant thought for a player. I'll finish it right now. The squad is suffering because of the extended period, and there are questions, claiming you should be dropped. A lynch mob comes after you,"

"They are also aware of what is happening. "We don't know what's in your mind," the former Indian player continued. "I think an exit plan, like a succession policy, must be clear. It's unfair on the management, the team, and the cricketing structure."

Previously predicted to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's records in every format of the game, Kohli has recently experienced a slight downturn in his career. Although his issues with deliveries outside of the off-stump are not new, they have only become worse in the last few years. Furthermore, even while batting in India's spin-friendly conditions, Kohli hasn't been able to perform at his peak.

With a maximum score of 70 and an average of 15.50, Kohli amassed 93 runs in the most recent series against New Zealand. Interestingly, this was also India's first home series loss in twelve years.
