Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli retired from Test cricket in May this year. He then won the IPL with Royal Challengers Bangalore and moved to London. Everyone is wondering why Kohli went to London despite owning a luxurious bungalow in India. Virat Kohli is currently in Australia for the three-match ODI series, the first of which is being played at the Perth Stadium today. Meanwhile, Kohli has explained why he shifted to London.
Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket after the Champions Trophy. After that he left for London immediately. He was questioned in this regard. To this he said, “I think it’s been a long time since I retired from Test cricket. I was just living my life. You know, I couldn’t do much for many years. Spending quality time with my family, with my kids, with my family. It’s been a beautiful journey which I’ve enjoyed a lot,” Kohli said on Jiostar.
Virat Kohli Duck : Virat Kohli’s career tarnished, an embarrassing record in the comeback match
Kohli wore the jersey of Team India after a long time. He made his first appearance today after the Champions Trophy 2025. However, his return was disappointing. In the first ODI in Perth, he played just eight balls and failed to open his account. This disappointed the fans. Kohli was expected to play a big knock on this ground, but it didn’t happen.
The toss went in Australia’s favor and they invited Team India to bat. Rohit Sharma hit a boundary and everyone thought the hitman would be a powerful batsman. However, after eight runs, Rohit was surprised by Hazlewood’s rising delivery and took an easy catch. Then, King Kohli, batting at number three, could not open his account despite facing eight balls.
Kohli tries to hit Mitchell Starc’s delivery hard, but his bat turns and the ball goes straight to the fielder at point. Meanwhile, skipper Gill plays a poor shot and it returns to the pavilion. Gill hit the ball outside the leg stump and it fell into the keeper’s gloves.
