August 18th holds a special significance for Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. It marks the date in 2008 when he made his international cricket debut at the age of 19. Since then, Kohli has become a household name for cricket fans worldwide. Now, 17 years later, he is nearing the end of his career, and speculation about his future is rife. Despite this, the former Indian captain is preparing to give it his all. Coincidentally, a photo of him has gone viral on August 18th, delighting his fans. The photo shows Virat with former Pakistani cricketer Sania Khan.
Kohli announced his retirement from T20 Internationals last year and from Test cricket this year. He is now active only in the ODI format, where he holds the record for the most centuries. However, there are claims that Kohli might be sidelined from this format as well. But Kohli doesn’t seem to be giving up easily and is fully engaged in preparations for a comeback. He has chosen a very special location for these preparations.
Virat Kohli’s photo with Sania Khan
A picture of Virat Kohli surfaced on social media on August 18th, featuring him with former Pakistani women’s cricketer Sania Khan. Sania is involved in coaching in London, and they took this photo at Lord’s. As soon as she posted it on Instagram, the photo of Kohli with her went viral on social media. This photo was from Virat Kohli’s practice session, and the venue was the historic Lord’s Stadium in London.
At present, The Hundred matches are being played at Lord’s, but amidst all this, Virat spent some time practicing at the training facility of this stadium. This is the same stadium where Virat Kohli has not yet scored a century in any format throughout his career.
Preparation for the Australia Tour
This photo of Virat makes it clear that he is not in a mood to retire from the ODI format so soon. Virat Kohli, who has been away from the cricket field since the IPL final, recently returned to practice. A few days ago, he was seen practicing at the academy of the assistant coach of Gujarat Titans in London. This preparation of Virat is good news for his fans before the Australia tour. Virat will return to cricket action with the ODI series on this tour in October, and the former Indian captain is ensuring that his comeback is a successful one.
