Virat Kohli leadership News

After Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally secured their maiden IPL title in 2025, cricket legend Ricky Ponting shared heartfelt remarks on Virat Kohli’s emotional moment during the final over.   

Virat Kohli has expressed a desire to retire from Test cricket, leaving Indian cricket in a state of uncertainty. However, his departure would come at a critical time, with key players like Rohit Sharma, Ashwin, Pujara, and Rahane already stepping away. Kohli’s leadership, experience, and remarkable record in England make him invaluable for India, especially in upcoming tours. Despite a dip in recent form, Kohli remains the fittest player, with standout IPL performances and milestones in sight, including reaching 10,000 Test runs. Kohli still has much to contribute, and retiring now would be premature.

Delhi’s team manager Mahesh Bhati, who has been closely associated with Kohli since his junior cricket days, revealed an anecdote that perfectly encapsulates the star batter’s mindset.

Kohli, ever observant, noticed the situation and couldn’t help but deliver a cheeky reminder.

Kohli, the then-Test captain, and Shastri, the former head coach, recognized Rohit’s potential long before he became the prolific opener he is today.

The comparisons between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli have long been a topic of discussion among cricket aficionados.

The competition aimed not only to sharpen the players' catching skills but also to foster team cohesion.

Amid RCB's woes, a viral video depicting a confrontation between Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal stirred controversy.

As India takes on Afghanistan in the World Cup 2023, the Virat Kohli-Naveen-ul-Haq saga adds a layer of intrigue and intensity to an already thrilling tournament.
