Virat Kohli-Fans Will Get Emotional After Watching This Video Of His Last…
Last Updated: Virat Kohli may have called it quits, but his fans have not. They keep sharing his old videos, perhaps a blast from the past on social media. Virat Kohli lifted the IPL trophy for the first time when he was on the field last time. It's been more than 2 months since then, and the fans are simply missing him. Before witnessing the IPL glory, Kohli left the country shell-shocked with his sudden retirement from Test cricket. A few reports have hinted at his willingness to step away from his favourite format. But they appeared to be far from reality, given Kohli's love for the longest format of the game. Alas, the unexpected unfolded. The date was May 12, 2025. Kohli's goodbye message to Test cricket broke a million hearts that day. He may have called it quits that day, but his fans have not. They keep sharing his old videos, perhaps a blast from the past on social media that end up garnering endless traction. Here's the video: Kohli Begins The Grind Virat Kohli has been away from cricket since RCB's historic IPL 2025 title win, where he broke down in tears. Currently in London, speculation over his future continues. Having retired from Tests and T20Is, Kohli is now only available for ODIs.

Is BCCI above national interest? Aaditya on proposed India-Pak match in Asia Cup
Agency: Mumbai, Aug 20 (PTI) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday wrote to Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya against a proposed match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup and asked whether the BCCI is above the national interest. The letter said many nations have been isolated in sports over a cause that is for the greater good of humanity. Terrorism is one such cause that prevents either of our nations from progressing peacefully. In the past decade, time and again, the country and its citizens have faced terrorist attacks based out of Pakistan, and the Union Government has reiterated it constantly, Thackeray stated. Recently, the Prime Minister also said water and blood cannot flow together from the ramparts of the Red Fort. Yet, only because of BCCI's insistence and desire for the money and ad revenue, probably, it holds the 'sindoor", and lives of our jawans as negligible, he said. 'Yet, sadly enough, and shamelessly, the BCCI is sending a team to play Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Is the BCCI above national interest? Is it above the sacrifice of our Jawans? Is it above the Sindoor of those who faced the attack in Pahalgham?" Thackeray said. 'We sent out delegations to the world, saying Pakistan is behind Pahalgam. Now, will we send out delegations to the world to justify why we are playing cricket with them?" Thackeray asked. It is truly a shameful act, when Pakistan has backed out of playing hockey in India, citing security reasons, that the BCCI plays Pakistan for selfish interest, the former Maharashtra minister said. The two marquee India versus Pakistan games will be held in Dubai during the upcoming Asia Cup, which is scheduled to start in the UAE from September 9. India and Pakistan will square off on September 14 in Dubai and one more time, potentially on September 21, at the same venue. The final on September 29 will also be held in Dubai. The tournament will be held in T20I format, keeping in mind the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka early next year.
