After retiring from T20Is and Tests, Virat Kohli, undoutedly India's greatest batsman in the modern era, only remains active in One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the Men in Blue.

He has been called-up for an ODI series against Australia, which kicks-off later this week, and has just arrived in New Delhi as team India prepares to travel Down Under for the upcoming series.

There is a lot of speculation regarding the longevity of Virat Kohli (and even Rohit Sharma) in international cricket. 

Now that Shubman Gill has been appointed as the captain of the ODI team, and since both have retired from Tests and T20Is, some fear that Kohli and Rohit might not make it to the 2027 ICC World Cup. 

However, no such announcement has been made by them officially just yet.
