Virat Kohli will play international cricket for at least four more years, says childhood coach Rajkumar. Kohli became the fastest to complete 14,000 ODI runs, most of which came while batting at No.3. The Rohit Sharma-led India have reached the semifinals of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy after securing consecutive wins against Bangladesh and arch-rivals Pakistan in Group A. Sharma believes that if Kohli maintains his hunger and motivation, he could easily continue playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru for years to come, much like M.S. Dhoni, who continues to play for Chennai Super Kings in his 40s. The 2027 ICC World Cup in South Africa is on the horizon, and Kohli could have one more chance at international glory. He ended his T20I career as India’s second-highest run-scorer in the format, through 4188 runs in 125 games at an average of 48.69 and a strike rate of 137.04.
