The ODI World Cup is only two years away, and until then the existing three -year IPL cycle will end. These may be the last 2-3 years of Kohli. As he says, although he wins or won an IPL cup, good at this stage, always about the time of the rest of the time pic.twitter.com/yqd9klxdlp

Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma focused on growing speculations and expressed his hope that Kohli would lead India in the 2027 ODI World Cup. “I greet him for his enormous contribution to the Indian cricket, and as a coach, I am proud of him for doing it for young people. Emotionally, we will not be able to see whites again to the country again, and hopefully, he will win the ODI World Cup for 100 percent for India (2027) and sang Sharma.
While the fans are trying to process the test output, now the big question is: Will the Kohli ODIs give up? One thing is certain, the next movement will be closely monitored.
