Kohli felt people within had no faith in him before Test exit, says Kaif

Former India batter Mohammad Kaif said Virat Kohli's Test retirement in May 2025 appeared to stem from a feeling that he was not getting importance and backing and "the people within had no faith in him". "I still think if Kohli would have continued [in Tests], he would have definitely made a comeback...He is known for comebacks," he added.
