One-day cricket is still on Kohli’s agenda. After Virat Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket, the big question now is whether he will play in the One-Day World Cup two years from now. Kohli’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, has answered this question. He believes that Kohli will play in the 2027 World Cup.
Rajkumar’s Thoughts on Kohli’s Commitment to the 2027 World Cup
Rajkumar believes that this time Kohli will sacrifice himself for one-day cricket. He is determined to aim for the 2027 World Cup. Rajkumar said, “We lost the last World Cup final, unfortunately. I hope Kohli will win the World Cup for India next time. He will be 100% committed to his goal.”
Rajkumar’s Emotional Tribute to Kohli
Rajkumar is proud of his beloved student, but he is also sad about not seeing Kohli play red-ball cricket again. As Kohli’s international cricket career ends, Rajkumar didn’t forget to ask for ‘gurudakshina’ (a token of gratitude).
Kohli’s Journey with Rajkumar
Kohli’s cricket journey began with Rajkumar, who groomed him from a young age. Rajkumar was both affectionate and strict when needed. After hearing about Kohli’s retirement, Rajkumar expressed his emotions on social media, saying, “A small boy came with dreams in his eyes. He is now a red-ball-winning legend. Not just extraordinary, but a great journey. Watching Kohli grow, lead, and inspire others has been the best experience of my life. The most joyful. Kohli has redefined passion and dedication for cricket. Test cricket will miss your fire, but your legacy will live on forever. I am grateful for every moment we shared in this incredible journey. I am proud of you.”
Rajkumar Reflects on Kohli’s Legacy
In a later interview, Rajkumar spoke more about his beloved student. He said, “Kohli must be saluted for his extraordinary contribution to Indian cricket. I am extremely proud of him. Everyone knows what Kohli has done for the country. He has set an example for the youth. It is sad that I will not see him in white-shirt cricket again. But his decision is welcome. I appreciate and support it.”
Guru-Disciple Moment at the IPL
Did Rajkumar ask for ‘gurudakshina’ at the end of Kohli’s international cricket career? It could be. A few days ago, Rajkumar attended the IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Kohli met him after the match, and they shared a warm hug. The guru and disciple had several brief conversations.
