In a brief yet powerful statement, Virat Kohli has put an end to all speculations about his retirement, especially regarding his future in the 2027 World Cup. In a video circulating on social media, Kohli clarified that not only does he plan to continue playing, but he also has his eyes set on winning the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Responding to a question about his next big goal, Kohli said, "I don't know what my next big step will be, but maybe try to win the next World Cup in 2027." This clear declaration comes as a relief to fans who had been wondering if Kohli would retire before the next major tournament.

The statement leaves no room for doubt: Kohli is fully committed to continuing his international career, with his sights firmly on securing another World Cup victory for India. His focus is on playing, not retiring, and he's determined to leave a lasting impact on the game.

Currently, Kohli is playing in the IPL 2025, where he has shown his usual form, scoring a half-century and contributing significantly to his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), in the first few matches. His strong performance is a testament to his desire to keep competing at the highest level.
