Kohli Poised for Another Milestone After Stunning Return to Form
India takes on New Zealand in their final group match in Dubai, with both teams having already secured their spots in the semi-finals of the 50-over tournament.
Nicknamed "King Kohli" for his extraordinary run-scoring ability, the star batsman endured an extended lean patch, fueling speculation about his and skipper Rohit Sharma’s potential retirement. The duo has already stepped away from T20Is.
However, Kohli silenced his critics with a sensational unbeaten century in India's crucial victory over arch-rivals Pakistan, propelling them to the brink of the semi-finals—a spot they ultimately secured following New Zealand’s win.
At 36, Virat Kohli turned back the clock with his first ODI century since November 2023, showcasing his patience before dominating the opposition bowlers in style.
Teammate KL Rahul believes the veteran still has plenty to offer.
"Playing 300 ODIs is an incredible milestone—it's a lot of international cricket," Rahul said in a press conference on Friday in Dubai. "Words fall short to describe how great a player he is and what an exceptional servant of Indian cricket he has been."
