Kohli's Dominance in Rankings Even After Retirement
Virat Kohli announced his retirement from T20 International in 2024 and from Test cricket in May 2025. Despite this, this historic record has been registered in his name in the ICC rankings, because his performance figures and ratings are updated even after retirement. Virat Kohli's feat shows how sincerely and consistently he has played cricket in every format.
Now, the biggest question in the minds of fans is when Virat Kohli will be seen next in the Indian team's jersey. Kohli is now only available for India in ODI cricket. The ODI series against Bangladesh in August was recently cancelled. In such a situation, the most likely possibility of Kohli returning to action is now considered to be during the ODI series on the Australia tour in October.
This tour is considered very important for India in terms of preparations for the 2027 World Cup, and Kohli can once again be seen showing his brilliance with the bat in this tour.
