Just when the current discussions have been around Virat Kohli being part of the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, the conversation has taken a massive turn as his possible comeback in Test cricket refuses to die down. The fans continue to believe that the veteran might turn up in the whites to complete the unfinished business.
The buzz has grown more on Kohli’s red-ball comeback after a recent statement from his childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, whose comments have sparked fresh excitement among the Indian cricket supporters across social media platforms. Ahead of the home Afghanistan series, this has become a major talking point.
What did Kohli’s coach actually say? The quote everyone is talking about
During a recent interview with Express Café, Rajkumar addressed that many people had already approached him about convincing the India star to reconsider his Test retirement. And his second comment of ‘let’s see’ has fueled the speculation even more.
“Many people have told me to ask Virat to return to Test cricket because he listens to me. We are talking about it; let’s see what happens.” Kohli’s childhood coach expressed during the interview.
The brief comment was enough to send social media into a crazy position, with the fans once again dreaming about the return of the star batter. Many supporters flooded the online platforms with messages urging the 37-year-old to reverse his retirement decision.
Will Virat Kohli return for India’s next Test series? Everything we know so far
Kohli announced his retirement from the longest format on May 12 last year as he brought curtains down on a remarkable career in the five-day format. He finished with 123 Test matches for the Indian side and made a massive contribution in transforming the team into one of the strongest overseas sides in world cricket.
The former captain ended as the fourth leading run-getter in the longest format for India with 9230 runs in 210 innings at an average of 46.85 with 30 half-centuries and 31 centuries at the best score of unbeaten 254 runs against South Africa in Pune.
In the absence of Kohli, India has shouldered the responsibility of the red-ball leadership on Shubman Gill as they drew the five-match series against England by a 2-2 margin, besides winning against West Indies at home and losing to South Africa by the end of last year.
Even though the possibility of a Kohli comeback is very low, the fans have kept their fingers crossed ahead of their two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in August.
