365telugu.com online news,August,14th,2025:Former India captain Virat Kohli has indicated that he is preparing for a return to One Day International (ODI) cricket ahead of India’s upcoming series against Australia in October. With the Bangladesh ODI series postponed, Kohli is focusing entirely on the 50-over format.
Recently, Kohli shared a photo from an indoor net session in London, training alongside Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Naeem Amin. In the snapshot, he looked in excellent form, wearing a grey t-shirt and blue shorts, and thanked Amin on social media: “Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you.” A fan page later reposted the photo, hinting at Kohli’s preparation for the Australian ODIs—a post that Kohli’s official account liked.
Having retired from Test and T20I cricket, Kohli continues to be a pivotal figure in India’s ODI setup. The BCCI is aware of his age but values his extensive experience and record in the format. With the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching, the future of both Kohli and Rohit Sharma in ODIs is under consideration. However, the BCCI has emphasized that no immediate decisions will be made regarding their participation.
The three-match ODI series against Australia, set from October 19 to 25, will be held in Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney. This series marks an important moment for Indian cricket, as two of its most seasoned and successful players, Kohli and Sharma, are set to rejoin the national squad in the limited-overs format.
