As one of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, Virat Kohli always draws fans’ love in action. Alongside Rohit Sharma, he has been the backbone of the Indian cricket team over the years. His temperament and run-chasing prowess have been second to none.
However, Kohli is currently in the twilight phase of his professional career and could retire from the sport after the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup. Before that, cricket fans would not want to miss any opportunity to see him play.
Virat Kohli will be in action soon against the West Indies, as a three-match series between the two will commence on September 27 at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. India have a perfect winning record at the Stadium, having won both of the two ODIs they have played at the venue.
