Why did Kohli write, 269 signing off?

Why did Kohli write, 269 signing off?

Virat Kohli posted a big message on social media on his farewell. His last words were, '#269 Farewell forever.'

Why did Virat Kohli write this? Why did he bring up only the number 269? What is the secret hidden in this number that Virat Kohli declared the end of this number's journey along with the end of his own journey?

Virat Kohli made a very emotional post while bidding farewell to Test cricket. He wrote, '14 years ago I wore the blue baggy cap for the first time in Test cricket. To be honest, I didn't know then how far this format of cricket would take me. I never imagined it. This format has tested me. It has shaped me. It has taught me. I will carry this lesson with me for the rest of my life.  While finishing his last post, he wrote, '#269 goodbye'! Kohli has a deep connection with this number. The question on everyone's mind is, why did Virat specifically mention this number? Kohli plays on the field wearing jersey number 18. So why 269?

The number 269 is actually Virat Kohli's Test cap number. Every cricketer is given a number on his Test debut, which he has to carry throughout his life. That is, he is the cricketer of the respective number. When Virat Kohli made his debut, he was India's 269th Test cricketer. This has been his identity in India's Test cricket throughout his life.

A few days ago, when Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from Test cricket, he wrote the number 281. That is, Rohit was India's 281st cricketer.

But amid the Indo-Pakistan military tensions, the chances of Rohit Sharma and Ribat Kohli's tour to Bangladesh have plummeted. Even the Asia Cup, which was scheduled to be held in September, may be postponed. Shortly after the IPL season was postponed for a week on Friday, the Indian media outlet Times of India published a report stating that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering pulling out of Bangladesh and the Asia Cup. Why is BCCI taking such a decision? Is it because of the deteriorating relations with Bangladesh? No, it's not like that. Rather, the BCCI is taking this decision for their own convenience.
