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.

Feeling really sad today that gesture from #ViratKohli at Adelaide probably means he’s announced his retirement. Heartbreaking moment for fans everywhere 💔 #INDvsAUS #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/zoShOyFYJz
