Has Virat Kohli announced his retirement from ODIs? – News-Patiala Punjabi

Virat Kohli ODI Retirement Plan: Virat Kohli’s bat has been quiet on the Australia tour. He could not even open his account in two matches. Mitchell Starc dismissed Kohli in the first ODI. In the second, he was dismissed lbw by Xavier Bartlett. However, after his dismissal in the second ODI at the Adelaide ground, a photo of Kohli showing off his gloves to the crowd at the stadium went viral.

The clash at the Adelaide Stadium has fueled speculation about Kohli’s ODI retirement. While people are discussing Virat Kohli’s retirement from the ODI format due to his actions, the legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar has made an important statement in this regard.

Sunil Gavaskar’s reaction to Virat Kohli’s action
Sunil Gavaskar while talking to Sports Talk about Virat Kohli’s retirement said, “Virat has over 14,000 runs and 52 ODI hundreds. He has scored thousands of runs, so he will face some failures.” Gavaskar added, “Don’t dwell on what has happened. Virat still has a lot of cricket left in him. Of course, Adelaide has been his favorite ground in Australia in both Test and ODI formats, but he can play a big innings in Sydney.”

“Kohli’s gesture was to the fans in Adelaide who were giving him a standing ovation,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Virat Kohli’s glove action. Gavaskar said, “Virat will not announce his retirement after the two overs in Australia. Virat will want to retire loudly. There is still the Sydney match, and after that, the ODI series against South Africa.” Gavaskar expressed confidence that Virat will play the 2027 World Cup with Rohit Sharma.
