Virat Kohli has made it clear he’s not done yet. Amid growing retirement speculation, the former India captain was spotted training at Lord’s indoor facility, working intensely for over two hours. With India’s white-ball tour of Australia just weeks away, Kohli’s message is loud and clear: he’s preparing to return stronger than ever.
Retirement Rumours and BCCI Tensions
Virat Kohli’s absence from the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and the upcoming Asia Cup had sparked talk of a farewell. Reports even suggested the Australia series could be his final outing. But Kohli’s recent training sessions and social media posts hint otherwise. His silent grind and visible hunger have sent a subtle but firm message to the BCCI.
Kohli’s Record in Australia
Kohli’s ODI record in Australia is among the best in the world—1327 runs in 29 matches at an average of 51.04, including five centuries. With matches scheduled in Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney, fans are hopeful for another masterclass. Kohli is expected to play a key role in India’s build-up to the 2027 World Cup.
The King Is Coming
Despite turning 36 and stepping away from Tests and T20Is, Kohli remains a force in ODIs. His recent performances in the ICC Champions Trophy, including a century against Pakistan and a gritty 84 against Australia, prove he’s still match-winning material. As Kohli trains like he’s making his debut, fans and critics alike are reminded: the King is coming.
