Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina wants Virat Kohli to be honoured with the Bharat Ratna award. Speaking on Jio Hotstar on Saturday, May 17, Raina said that a legend like Kohli should receive the highest possible honour for his contribution to Indian cricket.

Virat Kohli, who left the shortest format of cricket after winning the T20 World Cup, recently surprised everyone by retiring from Test cricket as well.
Virat Kohli retires from Tests before England tour
Kohli announced his retirement just before the England tour. Talking about the 36-year-old Virat Kohli’s Test career, he scored 9230 runs in 123 matches, during which he had 30 centuries to his name. He was just 770 runs away from the magical figure of 10 thousand runs, but he took retirement without caring about this record.
Let us tell you that in the history of Indian sports, only one player has been awarded Bharat Ratna so far and that is Sachin Tendulkar. In February 2014, the central government recommended the name of this great batsman and the then President Pranab Mukherjee gave him this honor. No athlete has received this prestigious civilian award before or after this.
In the last 5 years, Virat Kohli was not able to do anything special in Test cricket. During this period, only three centuries came from his bat. On the last Australia tour, he was seen getting out behind the wicket in the same manner. After scoring a century in the first match of the series, Kohli could not do anything special on that tour. Virat will now be seen playing only in ODIs.
