India's star batter Virat Kohli. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Virat Kohli played a major role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's first title win in IPL 2025. He made the fans crazy once again by scoring 657 runs in 15 matches. But now the question is when will Kohli be seen on the field next? Because he has already retired from Test and T20 formats. In such a situation, now his next stop is ODI cricket. Let's know when Kohli will be seen batting next. Actually Kohli will now be seen in action in the India-Bangladesh ODI series, which will be played in August. After the IPL, India will play a Test series on the England tour, but Virat Kohli will not be a part of it as he has retired from Test cricket. After the England tour is over, the Indian team will go to Bangladesh, where it has to play three ODIs and three T20 matches. Virat Kohli's ODI focus and preparation for the World Cup 2027: Actually, the first match of the ODI series will be played on August 17 in Mirpur, in which Kohli is likely to play. After this, the second ODI will be played on August 20 and the third on August 23. Kohli is active only in the ODI format, and the Bangladesh tour may be his next international assignment.
