Xtra Time Web Desk: Cricket fans were left holding their breath when Virat Kohli posted a heartfelt message on social media with a white background and black text—a format he has used for major personal and career announcements, including his Test captaincy resignation in 2022. With just two days to go before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, many feared the worst, speculating that Kohli might be hinting at retirement.

The suspense, however, was short-lived. Kohli’s post turned out to be a celebration of the 10-year journey of his men’s clothing brand, Wrogn. The opening lines, which spoke of being "different" and "misfits," had fans initially bracing for big cricketing news, only to breathe a sigh of relief upon realizing it was unrelated to his playing career.
