About this listen
Virat Kohli has lit up the cricket and celebrity headlines yet again over these dramatic few days. The master batter, fresh off his extended international break, has been confirmed for a blockbuster return to India’s ODI side for the upcoming Australia tour, as per BCCI’s official announcement. This marks his first international series since the Champions Trophy triumph in March, and it’s set against a rapidly shifting leadership landscape with Shubman Gill now named captain and Shreyas Iyer as vice-captain. What makes this return particularly significant is the context: Kohli is now one of only two senior statesmen, alongside Rohit Sharma, still picked solely on merit, with selectors openly debating their future in ODI cricket as India pivots towards youth and planning for the 2027 World Cup.
There’s speculation in The National News and NDTV Sports that Kohli could be approaching the last phase of his legendary international career, with conversations swirling that one of India’s ‘big two’ may make their exit during or after this Australia series. While nothing is confirmed, the writing appears to be on the wall, given the trend towards new faces in key roles.
Meanwhile, Kohli’s social media presence has galvanized millions. On Saturday, he melted hearts with an Instagram post featuring wife Anushka Sharma. The image was simple—a candid, intimate moment captioned “Been a minute”—and amassed more than ten million likes in under 24 hours, showcasing the magnetic pull of Team Kohli on fans worldwide. The pair were also spotted strolling through London with their son Akaay, looking relaxed and happy despite the media frenzy surrounding their careers and personal lives.
On the business front, Kohli’s empire shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to expand ventures like Chisel gyms, WROGN fashion, and the One8 lifestyle brand, according to Logic Matters. His entrepreneurial flair matches his cricketing prowess, and recent months have seen him shift more of his focus to these interests as life in London offers a degree of privacy after years under the spotlight.
Viral and quirky social media stories keep adding to his global profile. The Japan Cricket Association sparked buzz by posting a “What if Virat Kohli played for Japan?” scenario on Instagram, a quirky nod to his enduring popularity even in cricket’s emerging nations.
On the practice front, Kohli’s Friday session in London—posted with Gujarat Titans assistant coach Naeem Amin—has gone viral, quashing retirement rumors and reaffirming his commitment to form and fitness ahead of the Australia series. His wisdom and ODI record are expected to stabilize Team India as they navigate tough conditions Down Under.
Recent memories of the Asia Cup final remain fresh, where Kohli’s name was chanted amidst trophy drama and post-match chaos. India claimed their ninth title, but the real story was the passionate crowd reactions and unique celebratory moments on social media.
All told, Kohli stands at a crossroads: still a colossal figure on and off the pitch, central to India’s cricket hopes, yet undeniably part of a generational shift. Whether this Australia tour signals the beginning of his swan song or a renewed chapter remains to be seen, but the eyes of millions will be watching every move—online, in business, and on the crease.
