In a recent interaction on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Australian cricket sensation David Warner shared his insights on the future of Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli in World Cup tournaments.

Virat Kohli’s stature in Indian cricket

Kohli, often hailed as one of the best batters in the history of the game, has been a pivotal figure in the Indian cricket team for over 15 years. With a World Cup victory in 2011 and a stellar performance in the 2023 final against Australia, Kohli has etched his name among the cricketing greats.

Looking ahead after 2023 World Cup

Despite the heartbreak in the 2023 World Cup final, both the Indian cricket team and its fanbase are gearing up for future challenges. The upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies in June 2024, and the ODI World Cup scheduled four years later, present new opportunities for Team India.
