Virat Kohli to return to the Indian team ahead of Afghanistan ODIs
Virat Kohli, the legendary Indian cricketer, has now retired from the longest and shortest formats of international cricket. However, he has set his goal on representing India in the 50-over format until the upcoming ICC World Cup in 2027.
Kohli is the second-highest run-getter in the longer format of white-ball cricket and will be chasing 15000 runs in the upcoming series against Afghanistan. India will be hosting Afghanistan for a three-match ODI series that starts on the 13th of June.
Kohli will try to feature in almost every ODI match until the CWC 2027, as he will look to have exposure to the format and the maximum amount of game time before the marquee tournament, where Kohli will aim for a title in probably his final ICC tournament.
