That was a truly incredible win for England. The mindset England have is potent. The captain and coach have fostered a belief that they can win from any situation, no matter how bleak it might look. India controlled the game, and played well for three-quarters of it. They scored five individual centuries and Jasprit Bumrah looked utterly unplayable at times. They were 430 for three on day two, and 339 in front, five wickets down on day four, and lost.

While campaigning to be selected as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate for the 2020 US election, Senator Elizabeth Warren revealed, in a moving post on social media, how she was fired in 1971 from her first teaching job for being pregnant. It was a textbook campaign approach, especially in a highly personalised campaign environment like the US.

England still have some very difficult, important decisions to make over the next few weeks but all their under-pressure players performed very well against Zimbabwe: Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope and Shoaib Bashir. It would be a bad look to drop someone in Ollie Pope, who has just made 170-odd, and replace him with Jacob Bethell, who has never scored a first-class hundred and has been in India playing a couple of games of T20.

In my time involved in the game, stretching back more than 30 years, I don’t believe there is any individual who has done more for the Test format than Virat. When he took the captaincy just over a decade ago, I was worried India was losing interest in Test cricket. MS Dhoni was one of the great white-ball players but it felt like he captained a Test team that did not love the format. The game needs India to be madly in love with Test cricket, and that is what Virat fostered as captain.

There are not too many Test retirements where I am left genuinely disappointed that I won’t watch a cricketer play again. But I’m gutted we won’t see Virat Kohli in England this summer or in whites any more. I’m shocked that he’s retiring now, and I’m also quite sad about it. In my time involved in the game, stretching back more than 30 years, I don’t believe there is any individual who has done more for the Test format than Virat.
