Fans are speculating about Virat Kohli’s ODI future after his grey-bearded look went viral on social media.
The former India captain, who retired from Test cricket earlier this year and ended his T20I career after India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win, has played 123 Tests since his 2011 debut, scoring 9,230 runs with 30 centuries.
While he had planned to continue in ODIs, Kohli—last seen in IPL 2025—has spent most of his time in London since May. A recent photo with a fan, showing him in casual wear and sporting a white-grey beard, fueled talk of an imminent retirement.
In a light-hearted remark during a London event, Kohli joked, “I just coloured my beard two days ago. You know it’s time when you’re colouring it every four days.
