For the second time in a row, Virat Kohli was dismissed in the second ODI between Australia and India. Throughout his entire ODI cricket career, this never occurred. Following his thank-you gesture to the crowd upon his return to the pavilion, the video immediately becomes viral on social media, leading some to speculate that Virat may announce his retirement.
His depressing moments are exploding on social media, and people are discussing them. Let’s discuss this in this article: Is Virat truly retiring, or is it merely the feelings of a fan?
Gautam Gambhir, the coach of the Indian cricket team, and Ajit Agarkar, the chief selector, made a significant statement on various news channels in a recent interview. The interviewer inquired about Virat Kohli’s potential selection for the 2027 ODI World Cup and the Indian cricket team. They stated that we have no problem keeping him in the squad as long as he is performing well. However, they made no mention of dropping him if he performs poorly.
At this juncture, people become agitated, and the internet splits. On one side, if he is performing, we only want the trophy and have no issues with anything or anyone. Well done; if not, many young people can participate. He gave this country and the team his all, according to the opposing viewpoint. After all, he is a chessmaster and a big match player, and his 17-year cricket career and all the records he has earned him a spot in the 2027 World Cup squad.
ODI Internationals: One of the best ODI stats is that of Virat Kohli. He has played in 305 games, scoring 14255 runs in 293 innings. No one in the top ten run scorers in the ODI internationals has his batting average of 57+ and 51 hundreds.
ODI World Cup: With 37 games played in 4 World Cup events, Virat has amassed 1795 runs, placing him second only to Sachin Tendulkar. He has a 5 hundred and an average of 59+.
The response is no! at least not right now, but we have no idea what the future holds. People in Adelaide believed that the second ODI match was over, and Virat’s thank-you gesture left everyone feeling uncertain. Virat, however, chased down the match with 74 runs not out, which made the fans happy after the third ODI in Sydney was over. Virat discussed the game and the difficulties he faced in the post-match interview. It’s good that he didn’t bring up his retirement, but he did mention that this was his final game in Australia and thanked all the Australian supporters. We can now say that Virat will play in the forthcoming ODI series against South Africa, which begins on November 30.
This generation’s emotion is Virat Kohli. Despite all of his ups and downs, we have never stopped praying for him. We adore Virat Kohli. We always cheer him on and want to see him bat. Ultimately, a genuine cricket enthusiast will always want to watch Virat Kohli play. Although he has the ODI World Cup, retirement with the World Cup is the ultimate pleasure, much like the T20 World Cup—happy retirement when the work is done, especially with the ODI World Cup trophy.
