Virat Kohli's Social Media Comeback Sparks Excitement Ahead of ODI Series
Virat Kohli's Sudden Social Media Activity
The unexpected return of India's cricketing star Virat Kohli to social media has created quite a buzz online. Ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara, he shared three images from a net practice session, igniting excitement among fans. Although Kohli is set to retire from Test cricket in May 2025, there is a growing call from fans for him to reconsider his decision and make a comeback to the format he cherishes the most.
Kohli's Impressive Test Career
The 37-year-old right-handed batsman concluded his Test career with an impressive record, scoring 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85 across 123 matches, which includes 30 centuries and 31 half-centuries. His decision to retire from his favorite format came after a disappointing performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, just days before the announcement of the team for the England tour. Kohli is now fully prepared for the upcoming three ODIs against New Zealand, starting January 11 in Vadodara.
Fans Eager for Training Insights
This recent activity is a refreshing change for Kohli and his supporters. Fans have long awaited glimpses of his preparations before major series, which have been notably absent from his social media in recent years. Kohli's posts have primarily featured promotional content, vacation pictures with his wife Anushka Sharma, and messages celebrating significant career milestones, including India's T20 World Cup victory and the IPL 2025 title win with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
A Long-Awaited Return to Cricket Content
Notably, Kohli's latest post marks his first cricket-related content in six months, aside from a congratulatory message to the women's team for their World Cup victory. His last cricket-related post before this was after RCB's first IPL win. Furthermore, this is the first time in two years that he has shared images from a training session.
