Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli lifted the IPL trophy for the first time when he was on the field last time. It’s been more than 2 months since then, and the fans are simply missing him. Before witnessing the IPL glory, Kohli left the country shell-shocked with his sudden retirement from Test cricket. A few reports have hinted at his willingness to step away from his favourite format. But they appeared to be far from reality, given Kohli’s love for the longest format of the game. Alas, the unexpected unfolded.
The date was May 12, 2025. Kohli’s goodbye message to Test cricket broke a million hearts that day. He may have called it quits that day, but his fans have not. They keep sharing his old videos, perhaps a blast from the past on social media that end up garnering endless traction.
One of those compiles the last sixes of Kohli in the formats he has resigned from. The video begins with a powerful slash off Marco Yansen in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, followed by a meaty maximum off Nathan Lyon’s bowling in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Here’s the video:
Kohli Begins The Grind
Virat Kohli has been away from cricket since RCB’s historic IPL 2025 title win, where he broke down in tears. Currently in London, speculation over his future continues. Having retired from Tests and T20Is, Kohli is now only available for ODIs. India’s next 50-over assignment is the October tour of Australia, where he is expected to feature.
A recent viral picture shows the 36-year-old back at training. Reports suggest Kohli and Rohit Sharma could retire post the Australia tour, though both may need to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy to stay in contention for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
