Virat Kohli rejects rumors of his retirement; reveals his next big plan to win the 2027 ICC World Cup

India's best player, Virat Kohli, is determined to play well for the squad even though his cricket career is coming to an end. He recently discussed his outlook on his future in international cricket as well as his objectives for the next ODI World Cup.

Despite having achieved almost everything in his career, Virat Kohli remains committed to winning the 2027 ODI World Cup with India. For his fans, his remark is a relief because he has no immediate plans to retire.

Virat Kohli has won one ODI World Cup (2011), two Champions Trophies (2013 and 2025), and a T20 World Cup (2024). He lost against Australia in the final, almost missing out on winning the ODI World Cup 2023 for India.

Kohli became the tournament's highest scorer with 765 runs in 11 games with a strike rate of 90.31 and an average of 95.62. He showed his level of consistency by hitting three hundreds and six fifties during the competition.

His wish remained unfulfilled because he was unable to raise the ICC World Cup trophy. As a result, the 36-year-old veteran is driven and determined enough to continue playing until the 2027 World Cup.

Virat Kohli sets his next big goal of winning the ICC World Cup 2027.

On an occasion, Virat Kohli was asked what his next big step will be. After giving it some thought, Kohli declared his desire to win the next ODI World Cup, which South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe will all co-host.

The people in the hall cheered when Kohli declared that he wanted to win the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Presenter's Question: “Seeing In The Present, Any Hints About The Next Big Step?”

Virat Kohli's answer: “The Next Big Step? I don't know. Maybe try to win the next World Cup, 2027.”

Kohli just played a key role in India's Champions Trophy triumph. He scored 218 runs at an average of 54.50 and an 82.88 strike rate in five tournament games, including 150 and 150 runs.

He became India's second-highest run scorer after playing game-winning efforts against Pakistan in the group stage and Australia in the semi-final.

He currently plays in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and he is hoping to win his first IPL title this year. His start to the tournament has been blistering, and he seems to be in excellent form moving forward.
