Rumours about Virat Kohli playing in this year’s Vijay Hazare Trophy for Delhi have taken over social media. Some sources even claim he will feature in India A’s ODI matches. Fans are thrilled, believing this will help him gear up for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Fans’ Reactions and Expectations
You can feel the excitement among Kohli’s supporters. They see this as a great chance for him to sharpen his form and fitness. But as many fans know, Virat often distances himself from unverified news that spreads through unnamed “sources.”
Is It Enough Preparation?
Even if Kohli joins the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the number of matches is too few to make a strong case for World Cup selection. Many believe he should also play in the Ranji and Duleep Trophies to stay connected with competitive cricket.
The Debate Over Formats
Some fans argue that Kohli can’t play Ranji since he retired from Test cricket. But that logic falls apart he’s retired from T20s too, yet continues to play in the IPL every season. Clearly, format retirement doesn’t prevent participation in domestic events.
Questions About Passion and Dedication
Kohli’s reluctance to play in more domestic tournaments raises questions about his current passion for the game. To many, his reasons sound like excuses an attempt to remain within his comfort zone by sticking to the Vijay Hazare Trophy and a few India A games.
