Bollywood actor Angad Bedi said he got emotional as he read former Team India skipper Virat Kohli's retirement post. For those unversed, on Monday (May 12), Virat announced his retirement from Test cricket after 14 years.

Reacting to Virat's post, Angad, who is the son of late cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi, wrote on his Instagram story, "You had one more England tour in you cheekoo..You had it in you.. We will miss you in whites."

"Test cricket without you will be hard to watch.. A tear rolls as I read your retirement post... You have given your sweat and blood playing for India. Wished to see the Test cap #269 go from the field.. Thank you for all the memories.. @virat kohli hail the king love to you and the family," the actor added.

Angad also shared a photo of Virat which features the text, "The king retires."

"Go well my brother and thank you for the memories. Aaaja Bhangra Paaiye!! Rona na nikal jaave kithe," he captioned the post.

Meanwhile, in an emotional note on Instagram earlier today, Virat wrote, "It’s been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It’s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I’ll carry for life."

"There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for. I’m walking away with a heart full of gratitude for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile."

Reacting to the post, actor Ranveer Singh commented, "One in a Billion! Go well, King."

Angad's wife, actress Neha Dhupia wrote, "The king... who's reign will never end in our hearts@virat.kohli."

Punjabi singer and actor Harrdy Sandhu commented, "It has always been a pleasure and an adventure watching you in whites, King Kohli. Wishing you the best in life ahead. We are, and always will be, proud of you. God bless you. Saluting the legend, King Kohli, on an iconic Test career. Thank you for the memories, the grit, and the greatness."
