À propos de cet audio
Virat Kohli has been at the center of cricket headlines this week, and not just for his bat. As Team India touched down in Perth for the much-awaited ODI series against Australia, Kohli unleashed a storm with a cryptic social media post. On October 16, he tweeted, “The only time you truly fail is when you decide to give up.” This post instantly ignited a wave of speculation, with everything from doubts about his playing future to rumors of imminent retirement swirling across the sporting world. According to the Indian Express and Hindustan Times, the timing of the message—just three days before his high-profile return to India colors following his Test retirement and India’s Champions Trophy triumph—added fuel to the fire. Some saw the post as a declaration of resilience, others wondered if it concealed a deeper message about his career in ODIs, now the only international format in which he remains active.
Fans and experts were quick to react, dissecting the meaning and setting social media abuzz with possible interpretations. The Times of India reports that the national team, led by Shubman Gill, traveled in two batches from Delhi and arrived in Perth amidst tight security, fresh off a challenging travel schedule. Kohli and Rohit Sharma—both now exclusively focused on ODIs—have not played for India since clinching the Champions Trophy in March. Their return has been widely anticipated, but it also comes with questions about longevity and selection, especially since both stepped away from T20 internationals after last summer’s World Cup win and abandoned Tests just before the England tour.
While Kohli’s post had many believing it was a personal reflection on his future in blue, India Today later revealed that it doubled as a promotional teaser for his clothing brand, Wrogn. The bait-and-switch left some fans feeling duped, leading to a frenzy of memes and good-natured ribbing online, but did nothing to slow the news cycle.
Meanwhile, amid all the noise, reliable sources at NDTV Sports confirm that chief selector Ajit Agarkar has put to rest rumors of Kohli making his final international appearance in Australia, reaffirming both Kohli and Rohit are still in the running for the 2027 ODI World Cup provided form and fitness hold. Dinesh Karthik added fuel to the optimism, revealing on his social that Kohli had been training hard in London, eyeing another World Cup appearance.
The next few days are crucial for Virat Kohli, not just as a player returning after a significant break, but as a sporting icon under the sort of microscope reserved for the very best. On social media, beyond brand posts, he has kept things relatively quiet, apart from wishing Prime Minister Modi on his birthday last month, showing just how deliberate his online appearances have become.
