Virat Kohli is currently performing brilliantly in ODI matches. If we look at the statistics of Vijay Hazare Trophy, Virat has scored 584 runs in the last 6 innings at an incredible average of 146. Vijay has scored one century and one half-century in the Hazare Trophy for Delhi.

Team India’s next ODI series is to be against New Zealand, which will start from January 11. This form of Kohli is like good news for his fans because his excellent performance has secured his place somewhere in the 2027 ODI World Cup squad. When he suddenly retired from Test cricket in May this year, everyone was shocked. He retired from T20 only last year. That’s why Kohli now plays only ODI.

My wish, bring Virat back in Test – Navjot Sidhu

There will be thousands and lakhs of fans who would like to see Virat make a comeback in other formats. One name among them is that of former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, who expressed his wish through an Instagram post. He wished that if God gives him a boon, he would like to see Virat return to Test cricket.

Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “If God had given me a boon, I would have said to bring back Virat Kohli from retirement and make him play Test cricket. What could be more exciting than this for a country with a population of 1.5 billion. His fitness is like that of a 20-year-old youth, he is pure gold of 24 carats.”

Will Virat return to Test?

Different types of claims have been made regarding Virat Kohli’s return from Test retirement. But after the Ranchi ODI against South Africa, Virat himself had rejected all possibilities of returning to Test cricket. He said that now he plays only one format and this is the truth.

He targeted the attempts to drop Rohit and Virat from the ODI team and said that these two players are the backbone of Team India. He also targeted Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and said that Gambhir cannot always be right.

Rohit and Virat’s support

Speaking to Telecom Asia.net, Shahid Afridi said, “It is true that Virat and Rohit are the backbone of the Indian batting line-up. The way they played in the recent ODI series, it can be said with full confidence that both of them are capable of playing till the 2027 World Cup.”

He further said, “You have to preserve these two star players. When India is playing with a weak team, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can be rested and new players can be given a chance.”

Rohit broke the record of sixes, Afridi happy

Till a few days ago, the record of hitting most sixes in ODI cricket was in the name of Shahid Afridi. He had hit 351 sixes in his career. Rohit Sharma has overtaken him in this list, who currently has 355 sixes in his name.

Shahid Afridi said on his record of sixes being broken, “Records are made only to be broken, now this one has also been broken. I am happy that the player I like has broken my record. The record of my fastest century remained in my name for about 18 years, eventually that too was broken. One player makes a record, another comes and breaks it. This is the name of cricket.”

Demand for Virat to withdraw his retirement

Demand for withdrawal of retirement from Virat Kohli has started rising on social media. One person, quoting BCCI, said that it has demanded Virat Kohli to withdraw his Test retirement. This person also said that if Virat comes back, it will be the biggest comeback.

Let us tell you that no statement has come out from Virat Kohli or BCCI regarding withdrawal of retirement. Virat had said goodbye to the red-ball format on 12 May 2025. He scored 9230 runs in his career of 123 test matches. He has 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries to his name in his Test career.

We have loved coming and playing in this country, we have played very good cricket here. All of you (Australian crowd) are in our support. to come Thank you very much for this. Thank you Australia.”

On the other hand, Virat Kohli also returned unbeaten after playing a half-century inning of 74 runs. India may have won the third ODI match played in Sydney, but Australia has won the series 2-1. This is also the first win of Shubman Gill as ODI captain.

The last few times have been very bad for Virat Kohli, who has ruled ODI cricket for the last decade. Virat Kohli was out for zero in the second ODI being played in Adelaide on Thursday. Earlier in Perth also, Virat had returned to the pavilion without opening his account. For the first time in his 17-year-old ODI career, Virat has been out on zero twice consecutively. After the flop in the second ODI against Australia, the discussion about Virat’s retirement is in full swing. By sharing Adelaide’s video on social media, it is being claimed that Virat has retired from ODI cricket.

Why was there talk of Virat’s retirement?

When Virat Kohli was returning to the pavilion after being out on zero in Adelaide, disappointment and frustration were clearly visible on his face. As soon as he reached near the boundary, the fans sitting in the stands stood up and started clapping. Virat also accepted his greeting. The manner in which Virat accepted the greetings of the fans by holding gloves in his hands was saying a lot.

Well, now it has two meanings. The first is that Virat Kohli has played for the last time in Adelaide. He knows that he will not play on this ground again. In such a situation, he greeted the fans after playing the last match on his favorite ground. Also, the other aspect is that Virat has understood that now this is the last stage of his career and he will say goodbye to this format after the third ODI in Sydney.

By the way, it is quite difficult for Virat to retire from the ODI format right now, because he has said many times that he wants to play the 2027 ODI World Cup. In such a situation, he is not a cricketer who will accept defeat just because of two flops. However, a lot now also depends on Sydney ODI.

Happy Retirement, Virat Kohli.
Thank you for making us fall in love with the game.
Thank you for every goosebump, every roar, every memory that still lives in our hearts.
It hurts to say goodbye, but the love will never fade.
