3 Legendary Cricketers Who Chose Passion Over 10,000 Runs

It is very rare to see in cricket that you don't make any record despite having the opportunity, but there were three such legends who announced their retirement openly without caring. An Indian has also been included in this list.

Cricket is a game of statistics. Statistics are those which have the power to make you a hero in one moment and a zero in the next. It is through statistics that a player's identity and stature is measured. Sachin Tendulkar is great because he made a rain of records. He made a world record of a century of centuries. This record became 'immortal' in the cricket world. Whenever there is talk of record book, Sachin's name appears in it many times. Virat Kohli's career was also commendable, but he retired from Test cricket at a time when he could have made a big record in his name.

In fact, Virat Kohli had a great opportunity to join the 10 thousand run club, because he has a lot of cricket left in him, but the 36-year-old Kohli said goodbye to Test cricket openly. He did not enter the club of 10,000 Test runs and with this decision he showed that he only listens to his heart. Apart from him, there were two other players who shocked the world by giving up the desire of 10,000 Test runs and listening to themselves and retiring.
