Virat Kohli is currently busy preparing for IPL 2025 after the Champions Trophy. The answer Virat Kohli gave after being asked about his recent form during an event of franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore before the start of the IPL 2025 season has made the heart beat of the fans increase.
Even after winning the Champions Trophy, questions are being raised about the future of some senior players of Team India. Captain Rohit Sharma has denied it for now, but star batsman Virat Kohli has not said anything clearly about this. Fans are worried about the future of these two legends and now Kohli has increased their worries with one of his statements. Before the start of the IPL 2025 season, Kohli has said about his Test career that he may not be seen playing in Australia again.
Virat Kohli joined his franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday, March 15, for the 18th season of IPL. During this, Kohli answered many questions at an event of the franchise. During this, a question was asked about his recent form. Virat, who scored more than 200 runs in the Champions Trophy, failed in his previous tour of Australia. Only one century came from his bat, while his record in this country has always been good before that.
Throughout this tour, Kohli kept getting out on balls outside the off stump repeatedly, which surprised and disturbed not only the fans but also the experts. In such a situation, when Kohli was asked about his batting struggles on that tour, the former Indian captain said, “I may not play on the Australia tour again, so I am satisfied with what happened in the past.” Team India’s next tour of Australia is scheduled to take place in late 2027.
After this failure in the Australia tour, questions are being raised about Kohli’s Test career. Will he be selected in the team for the England tour after the IPL? If selected, will he retire after this series? These questions are being constantly asked and discussed by the media, experts and fans.
But Kohli’s statement has created a new tension among the fans that Kohli may suddenly announce his retirement. However, the fans want to see Kohli once again perform brilliantly in Test cricket and hope to see runs rain from his bat in England, so that even if he retires, he leaves good memories for the fans.
