August 18, 2008, was the day Virat Kohli began his international cricket journey, aged 19. Since then, he’s become a beloved figure for cricket fans globally. Now, after 17 years, with his career nearing its end, there’s much discussion about his future. The former Indian captain is focused on preparing intensely. A photo, shared on August 18, has fans celebrating, showcasing Kohli with former Pakistani cricketer Sania Khan.
Kohli retired from T20Is and Test cricket in the recent past. He’s currently playing ODIs, where he boasts the most centuries. Despite rumors of his possible exclusion from ODIs, Kohli is preparing for a comeback. He’s chosen a special location for his preparations.
Kohli and Sania Khan’s Photo
A picture featuring Virat Kohli alongside Sania Khan, a former Pakistani women’s cricketer, went viral on August 18. Sania, coaching in London, took the picture with Kohli at the historic Lord’s Stadium. The image, capturing Kohli during a practice session, quickly gained traction online.
Even though The Hundred matches are happening at Lord’s, Virat took advantage of the stadium’s training facilities. Interestingly, Kohli has yet to score a century in any format at Lord’s.
Preparing for the Australia Tour
The photo suggests Kohli is not retiring from ODIs anytime soon. He resumed practice recently after the IPL final. He was spotted practicing at the Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach’s academy in London. This preparation is good news for Kohli’s fans before the Australia tour, scheduled for October. Kohli will return to cricket action with the ODI series, and he’s ensuring a strong comeback.
