Virat Kohli sets 2027 ODI World Cup condition only if he can add real value

After retiring from T20Is following the 2024 World Cup and closing his Test career last year, he’s focused solely on ODIs. Kohli played 13 ODIs in 2024, scoring 651 runs, and has already struck three IPL centuries this season. He also bristled at doubts, urging clarity from selectors.

With his ODI appearances now scarce, he pointed to his recent Vijay Hazare return—scoring a hundred—and framed it as playing for love, not to silence critics.
