Virat Kohli is only active in the ODI format after retiring from Tests and T20Is.
Virat Kohli is probably the biggest cricketer in the current generation. He made his international debut in August 2008, and since then, he has been unstoppable. Several major records stand to his name.
Virat is also the face of cricket worldwide, and whatever he does goes viral. The former Indian captain is one of the most followed athletes in the world and a cricketer of all time.
He has also made his debut on the social media platform LinkedIn at 37. He announced his arrival with a long post on the platform, which is for professionals from different fields globally.
This has certainly caught attention, because the 37-year-old player is now close to retiring from international cricket. Notably, Virat has already confirmed that the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2027 will be his last for India.

Not only on the field, but Virat has also been successful off the field with his extensive business portfolio. He has made investments in industries such as fashion, hospitality, sports, fitness, and startups.
Virat is not just a cricketer but also an entrepreneur. With a fanbase of 271 million on Instagram and 73.5 million on X, Virat’s LinkedIn presence indicates his future plans.
Virat wrote, “I’ve always wanted to see an India where every sport is followed, celebrated, and played. Today, that vision feels closer than ever. A new generation is proving that India can produce world-class athletes and build brands for the global stage. The vision is to build an end-to-end sports platform from India, spanning manufacturing, consumer brands, and sports distribution.
He added, “It’s a belief that India can help shape the future of global sport, not just participate in it. That’s why I’ve joined Agilitas as an investor and as a co-founder and co-creator of one8world. One8 is built on a belief I’ve carried throughout my career: progress comes from pushing boundaries, raising standards, and daring to do things differently.”
Through his posts, he talks about the Indian sports industry and the next generation of athletes. He also assures that the brands he is associated with will work in sports distribution, manufacturing, and consumer.
Virat will be next in action during India’s tour of New Zealand. He will be part of the five-match ODI series between the two teams. The series will run from November 4 to 15.
