Virat Kohli’s Test retirement continues to fuel speculation about a possible comeback, even though the former India captain stepped away from the format in May 2025 after a 123-Test career.
Virat Kohli, one of India’s most successful Test batters and captains, retired from red-ball cricket after a career that played a key role in transforming India into a dominant overseas side. Despite his retirement, discussions about a return have resurfaced following recent comments from his childhood coach.
Gold 101.3FM UAE’s No.1 radio station continues to bring the latest sports updates and cricket news for fans across the UAE and Gulf region.
Kohli’s coach Rajkumar Sharma, speaking in an interview with Express Cafe, said that many people have urged him to ask Kohli to reconsider his decision and return to Test cricket, noting that the former captain listens to him.
When asked if he had spoken directly to Kohli about a comeback, Sharma added, “We are talking about it; let’s see what happens,” a brief remark that quickly went viral and sparked widespread debate on social media.
The comments have triggered fresh excitement among fans, with many hoping the 37-year-old batter may reverse his decision and return to Test cricket. However, there has been no official confirmation or indication from Kohli regarding any comeback plans.
For now, the possibility remains speculative, driven largely by fan reactions and Sharma’s remarks rather than any confirmed developments.
