August 18th is a significant date in Virat Kohli’s career, marking the day he stepped onto the international cricket stage in 2008. Over the past 17 years, he has become a global cricket icon. Now, as he approaches the later stages of his career, discussions about his future are commonplace. Despite the uncertainties, the former Indian captain is focused on intense preparation. A photograph of Kohli with former Pakistani cricketer Sania Khan has gone viral, creating excitement among his fans. The image of the two together has been widely shared.
Kohli retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket in recent years, and now concentrates on the ODI format, where he holds the record for most centuries. Despite speculation about his future in ODIs, Kohli is actively preparing for a comeback. He has chosen London as the location for his training.
Virat and Sania Khan’s Photo
A photograph of Virat Kohli and former Pakistani women’s cricketer Sania Khan gained traction on social media on August 18th. Sania, who is involved in coaching in London, took the picture with Kohli at Lord’s. The photo, which captures Kohli during a practice session at the iconic Lord’s Stadium, quickly spread across social media platforms.
The Hundred matches are currently underway at Lord’s, but Kohli utilized the stadium’s training facilities for practice. It’s noteworthy that Kohli has not yet scored a century in any format at Lord’s during his career.
Preparations for the Australian Tour
The viral photo suggests Kohli is not ready to retire from ODIs. He returned to practice recently after a break following the IPL final. Earlier, he was seen training at the academy of the assistant coach of Gujarat Titans in London. This preparation is encouraging news for his fans ahead of the Australia tour. Kohli is set to return to action with the ODI series in October, and is determined to make a strong comeback.
