India's Historic Win Over England: Jonathan Trott Reveals Virat Kohli's London Residence
India's Remarkable Triumph at Edgbaston
India achieved a remarkable victory against England at Edgbaston, winning by a staggering 336 runs and leveling the series at 1-1. However, amidst the celebrations, a surprising revelation came from Jonathan Trott, a former English cricketer and current coach for Afghanistan.
During a discussion about India's performance on Sony Sports Network, Trott inadvertently disclosed the location of Virat Kohli's residence in London. This unexpected comment surprised viewers, particularly since Kohli has maintained a low profile since his retirement from Test and T20I formats.
Trott's Unintentional Disclosure on Live Television
While praising India's cricketing prowess, Trott speculated on Kohli's feelings of missing the team after his retirement. He mentioned that Kohli lives in Notting Hill, just 2.5 miles from St. John's Wood in London. Although this information might be known to some, it had never been casually mentioned on live TV before.
Trott remarked: "Doesn’t he live in St. John’s Wood or nearby? Can he not be persuaded to come back? Coming back to Virat Kohli's tweet, no wonder he misses that dressing room feeling. I sometimes wonder how quickly that feeling comes back after you give up the game."
Kohli's Recent Activities and India's Historic Win
According to reports, Kohli and his family have been residing in the UK following the IPL 2025 victory celebrations in Bengaluru. He has kept a low profile, making few public appearances aside from the celebrations for the Royal Challengers Bangalore's IPL 2025 win.
Before the England series commenced, Kohli had hosted several Indian players at his London home. Following India's historic win at Edgbaston, he praised Shubman Gill's captaincy and batting, as well as the impressive bowling performances from Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj.
This victory marked India's first win at Edgbaston and was also notable as the first by an Asian team at this venue. While Kohli did not participate in the match, his support and encouragement for the team were undoubtedly felt.
