August 18th holds a special significance for Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. It was on this date in 2008 that Kohli, at the age of 19, made his debut in international cricket. Since then, his name has resonated with cricket fans worldwide. Now, 17 years later, Kohli is approaching the final phase of his career, sparking ongoing speculation. However, the former Indian captain is preparing with full force. Coincidentally, a photo of him went viral on August 18th, delighting his fans. The photo shows Virat with former Pakistani cricketer Sania Khan.
Kohli had announced his retirement from T20 Internationals last year and from Test cricket this year. He is now only active in the ODI format, where he holds the record for the most centuries. Despite claims that Kohli may be sidelined in this format as well, Kohli seems determined not to give up easily and is fully engaged in preparations for a comeback. He has chosen a special location for these preparations.
Virat’s Photo with Sania Khan
On August 18th, a picture of Virat Kohli surfaced on social media, showing him with former Pakistan women’s cricketer Sania Khan. Sania is involved in coaching in London, and they took this photo together at Lord’s. As soon as she posted it on Instagram, the photo with Kohli went viral on social media. This photo was from Virat Kohli’s practice session, held at the historic Lord’s Stadium in London.
During this time, The Hundred matches are being played at Lord’s, but amidst all of this, Virat spent some time practicing at the stadium’s training facility. This is the same stadium where Virat Kohli has not yet scored a century in any format throughout his career.
Preparation for the Australia Tour
This photo of Virat makes it clear that he is not in a mood to retire from the ODI format so soon. Virat Kohli, who has been away from the cricket field since the IPL final, recently returned to practice. A few days ago, he was also seen practicing in London at the academy of the assistant coach of Gujarat Titans. This preparation of Virat is good news for his fans before the Australia tour. On this tour, which will take place in October, Virat will return to cricket action with the ODI series, and the former Indian captain is making sure that his comeback is successful.
