Virat Kohli Teases ODI Return Ahead of Australia Clash, Internet Goes Berserk
Kohli shared a photo from an indoor net session last week, hinting at his readiness to return to international cricket for the first time since his last appearance at the Champions Trophy. In his Instagram story, Kohli was pictured training alongside Gujarat Titans assistant coach Naeem Amin. 'Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you," Kohli wrote. A fan page later reshared the picture, suggesting the star Indian batter was gearing up for the Aussie ODIs, a post that even got a like from Kohli's official account. 'Kohli liked this 🥰 he isn't going anywhere ❤️❤️," a user commented on the post. 'Virat Kohli has liked this post👀 He's surely preparing for the upcoming series," another user commented. With the Bangladesh series scheduled this month being called off, India's next ODI assignment will be an away series from October 19-25 against Australia. However, whether Rohit and Kohli will be playing ODIs post Australia tour is a thing of conjecture. Indian cricket runs on narratives and it is about whether Kohli and Rohit, with a cumulative 83 ODI centuries and 25,000-plus runs, can last till the October 2027 ODI World Cup when they would be 39 and 40 years old, respectively. 'If they (Rohit and Kohli) have something in mind, they would tell the BCCI brass like they did before the England Test tour. But from an Indian team's perspective, the next big assignment is the T20 World Cup in February and preparations before that," a BCCI source told PTI.

Rishabh Pant shares photo of his fractured foot in a cast: I hate this so much
India Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant has voiced his frustration over a plastered left foot, sharing a photograph of it on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday. The 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batter sustained the injury on the opening day of the fourth Test between India and England at Old Trafford—a series already being hailed as one of the finest of this India's vice-captain and arguably their most consistent run-scorer in the format going into the series, had reinforced that reputation by scoring centuries in both innings of the opening Test. However, on Day 1 in Manchester, he was struck on his left foot and had to be taken off the field on a golf cart. advertisement"I hate this sooo much," Pant wrote in text over the image of his cast. Following a late-night meeting that day, the BCCI medical team confirmed he would require six weeks' rest. When asked whether Pant could still bat in the ongoing Test with the aid of painkillers, the response was a cautious: "He could, if need be." Earlier in the day, Pant had posted a lighthearted social media video of himself baking pizzas—limping slightly but smiling in a chef's apron as he kneaded dough and arranged toppings. "Ghar pe to kuch banaya nahi hai, yaha pizza bana raha hai" ("I haven't cooked anything at home, and here I am making pizza"), he quipped, before adding an Italian flourish to his caption: "Impasto, salsa, forno and me." In the clip, Pant told viewers: "Today I'm going to show you how to make pizza I think I'm going to make vegetarian pizza."As events transpired, Pant did return to the stadium, hobbling down the steps in full batting gear to resume his innings after Shardul Thakur's dismissal. Having retired hurt on 37, he went on to compile a gutsy 54 off 75 balls, an effort that drew widespread head coach Gautam Gambhir described Pant's knock as a defining moment for the team. "The character and foundation of the team will be built on what Pant did," Gambhir said after the match, which India salvaged for a draw against all odds. "Any amount of praise is not enough for him, especially batting with a broken foot. Not many people have done that in the past. I think generations to come will talk about this - that there was someone who batted with a broken foot."Gambhir added: "It's unfortunate because of the kind of form he was in, but he's an important member of the Test side. I hope he recovers quickly and comes back to deliver for us again."- EndsYou May Also Like

Virat Kohli's Unmissable 'Australia ODIs' Hint As Wait For India Great's Return Grows
When will Virat Kohli return to international fold? That is one question which is bothering all. The former India captain and batting great last played at the Champions Trophy. As he has retired from T20s and Tests, Kohli will now only be seen in ODIs. After an ODI series against Bangladesh in August was postponed, the next assignment for India in the format is against Australia in October. And there is enough hint now that Kohli is prepping up for that series. A few days back, Kohli shared a photo with Gujarat Titans' assistant coach Naeem Amin in what appeared to be an indoor net session. "Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you," Kohli wrote on his Instagram story, sharing the photo. A Virat Kohli shared the same photo, along with the caption "Virat Kohli prepping for the Aussie ODIs". The photo was liked by Virat Kohli's official Instagram handle. Indian cricket icons, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, remain active in the One-Day International format, having recently quit both T20Is and Tests. While the Indian team has moved on from the two batting greats in the two formats, Rohit still remains the skipper of the 50-over side, while Virat is as influential as ever. When it comes to the ODI format, the 2027 World Cup seems to be the target for the duo, though neither of them has officially communicated their future plan. However, as per a report, it isn't going to be easy for Virat and Rohit to play the ODI World Cup in two years' time despite their success in the format. As per a report in Dainik Jagran, neither Virat nor Rohit is guaranteed a spot in India's 2027 ODI World Cup squad. With none of them playing T20Is and Tests, match time in the coming years is also going to be limited. The situation, hence, triggers a big doubt in the minds of the selection committee and the top BCCI bosses. However, the report has also claimed that both Kohli and Rohit would have to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the domestic one-day competition that starts in December this year, if they are to keep themselves in contention for a spot in the ODI World Cup. Without Vijay Hazare Trophy participation, the doors are unlikely to open for them. "Vira Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not fit in our plans for the ODI World Cup 2027," the report quoted a source from the team management as saying.
