Want To Play Cricket And Carry On, Playing A World Cup For India Is Amazing, Says Kohli
ODI World Cup: Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli has reaffirmed his commitment to feature in the 2027 Men’s ODI World Cup, saying he continues to prepare with the same zeal and discipline to play cricket and that being in a mega event will be an amazing prospect.
"We’re in mid-2026. I have been asked many times, ‘Do you want to play in 2027?’ Why would I leave home, get my stuff over and be like ‘I don’t know what I want’. Of course, if I’m playing, I want to play cricket, I want to carry on. Playing a World Cup for India is amazing,” said Kohli in an episode of the RCB podcast released on Friday.
Despite retiring from T20Is in 2024 and Test cricket in 2025, Kohli remains a vital figure in India’s ODI setup. With 54 centuries and 14,797 runs in the format, Kohli is the second-highest run-getter in ODIs and has already featured in four World Cups, including the victorious 2011 campaign on home soil.
