Virat Kohli has been the backbone of the Indian batting lineup for over a decade now. The 35-year-old has been at the centre of the runs-scoring department for India across ODIs, Tests and T20Is.
Virat announced his retirement from T20Is after India’s historic triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados. The batting stalwart played a crucial knock of 76 runs against South Africa in the final of the competition to lift the coveted title.

Virat Kohli’s domestic career
Virat last played domestic cricket back in 2012, featuring in the Ranji Trophy. The Indian batter last featured in the Duleep Trophy further back in 2010. He represented North Zone in a game against the West Zone, even registering a half-century in the first innings.
Virat’s batting prowess was evident right from his early cricketing days. Once the batter made his way to international cricket, there was simply no stopping him. Virat dominated all three formats of the game, achieving numerous titles and personal accolades.
