He shared an emotional post on Instagram, where he thanked fans and reflected on his 14-year Test career. Kohli ended with 9,230 runs and 30 centuries in Test cricket. He was also India’s Test player number 269.

Kohli’s Outstanding Record in ODI World Cups

Virat Kohli has always performed well in ODI World Cups. In the 2023 World Cup held in India, he was the highest run-scorer with 765 runs, which is the most by any player in a single ODI World Cup. Even though Kohli had a brilliant tournament, India lost the final under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and finished as runners-up. This is why Kohli may be eager to win one more ODI World Cup before ending his cricket career.
