Virat Kohli, one of the most reliable batsmen in Indian cricket, shared emotional news with fans regarding his future and the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup. Before the start of the home ODI series against West Indies, Kohli clearly stated that the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2027, which will be held in South Africa, will be his last ODI World Cup for India.
In an interview given to JioStar, Kohli elaborated on the difficulty of participating in the 50-over format. He noted that this will be his final World Cup representing India, and this serves as his main motivation—to put in all his effort and give 100 percent on the field.
Speaking about the intensity of the 50-over format, Kohli explained that maintaining physical and mental levels over ten matches in a major tournament is extremely exhausting, especially when playing in unfamiliar conditions.
Kohli has an impressive history in World Cups: he has scored 1795 runs in 37 matches, demonstrating an average of about 59.83, including 5 centuries and 12 half-centuries. Overall, in his ODI career, he has scored 14,941 runs in 302 matches, 54 of which were centuries.
On the other hand, former Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also spoken about his future and the World Cup. Rohit emphasized that he has never considered ending his cricket career, asserting that as long as he plays, there are always new challenges ahead of him.
The start of the three-match series between India and West Indies on Sunday marks the beginning of the journey towards the historic 2027 World Cup, to which both veterans are very determined.
