Former South African fast bowler Allan Donald believes Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket too early, drawing a comparison to AB de Villiers's similar decision. Donald expressed that he misses watching Kohli in the Test arena, highlighting his exceptional hunger and work ethic, likening him to a machine. Despite Kohli's Test and T20I retirements, Donald is confident he will feature in the 2027 ODI World Cup and continue to perform in white-ball cricket.
