Is Kohli retiring from ODI Format?

India’s Talismanic player and superstar Virat Kohli would play Key role in the final when Men in Blue will take on Black Caps in Champions Trophy final to be held on 9th March 2025.

There have been reports surfacing via distinct sources you might be seeing Kohli for one last time in ODI Cricket.

Kohli is looking to settle permanently in London soon.

If he hangs his boot now, It will tough shoes to fill, as the ace superstar have clinched 51 Centuries in ODI Cricket and his runs in the shortest format of the game is more than 14,000 runs.

He also became the fastest, to score 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000 & 14,000 runs fastly.

Overall Kohli has scored 82 centuries in International Cricket. If he says good bye to game now it will be biggest void to fill in times to come.

Kohli has dominated all three formats of the game, but considering his stature he still needs to score more centuries in Test Cricket.

Virat Kohli an absolute superstar of the game should be credited for bringing massive transformation in Indian team and fitness being the most important factor.

He gave wings to fast bowlers to generate an ability to pick 20 wickets in a Test match especially in overseas tour.

He still is one of the best leader in the longest format of the game.

My Perspective: 

Dwelling deep into circumstances and how Kohli had impacted Indian Cricket is beyond numbers.

Kohli along with Sharma often abbreviated as “RO-KO” have helped Indian Cricket Team grow leaps and bounds in ICC events.

If they pull together ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final together and ensure Men in Blue wins another title , it will be another nail in the coffin will add one more armory in their contribution towards Indian Cricket.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India close sources is yet to confirm the news whether we are witnessing Rohit and Kohli for one last time in International Cricket.

If Kohli retires in ODI Cricket after winning Champions Trophy, the search will be about who will become next Virat Kohli for India.
