À propos de cet audio
Fresh off a four-month break in London with his wife Anushka Sharma and their two children following his historic IPL title win with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Virat Kohli is once again the center of the cricket world’s attention, both on and off the field. According to Hindustan Times, Kohli made his much-anticipated public return to India earlier this week, stepping out at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport ahead of the Men in Blue’s departure for a high-profile three-match ODI series against Australia. The frenzy was immediate—fans waited outside the terminal, and social media exploded with ‘The GOAT is here’ trending across platforms.
NDTV Sports reports that Kohli, along with stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, was among the first batch of players to board the Australia-bound flight early Wednesday, October 15. News18 describes the scene as a “massive crowd” with fans cheering, cameras flashing, and security on high alert. One lucky Royal Challengers Bangalore fan even had his wish granted when Kohli briefly halted security protocols to interact, a gesture widely shared and celebrated on X.
Kohli’s return isn’t just a sporting story; it’s a business and pop culture event. Economic Times broke the news that fintech company Pay10 has named Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma as their new global brand ambassadors, leveraging their combined digital influence of over 500 million followers. The partnership coincides with Pay10’s UPI app launch, adding yet another layer to Kohli’s sprawling business empire—already spanning investments in tech, fitness, wellness, restaurants, and sports franchises, as highlighted by Fincash.
But the rumor mill is never far behind. According to News18, online speculation about Kohli refusing to renew a commercial contract with RCB set off false rumors of his IPL retirement; cricket analyst Aakash Chopra clarified via YouTube that Kohli is expected to play IPL 2026, having just led RCB to their inaugural title.
On the cricketing front, the upcoming ODI series in Australia marks his first international appearance since the Champions Trophy. Past speculation suggested these Australia ODIs could be Kohli’s final bow, but BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla told NDTV such claims are “absolutely wrong.” Kohli—now exclusively an ODI player after retiring from Tests and T20s—is expected to continue, but fans and pundits eagerly debate whether he will aim for the 2027 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Kohli’s social media presence remains unrivaled. According to Wealth Magazine, he earns up to $1.4 million per sponsored Instagram post, with his latest return to cricket propelling him back into the top global trends. Regardless of field or platform, Kohli’s aura remains unmissable, with every public move and partnership making waves across both sports pages and the digital economy.
