Watch the video where the former captain of the Indian side, Virat Kohli, returns to Delhi ahead of their upcoming three-match away ODI series against Australia down under, which begins on October 19.
One of the biggest excitements for the cricketing fans in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia down under will be watching their favorite Virat Kohli back in the field in the national side. The veteran’s last game for the Indian side came during the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
His last competitive clash was for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad against the Punjab Kings. Since then, he has not featured in the five-match Test series in England and the Asia Cup 2025, having retired from the longest and shortest formats of the game.
