After an extended break from cricket, Virat Kohli has returned to training—and this time, it’s happening in London. The star Indian batter, who last played during the T20 World Cup 2024, had taken time off from all cricketing action, including India’s tour of Zimbabwe. Now, he’s back in the nets, and his training session has quickly drawn attention—not just because of his return, but because of who he was practising with.
Kohli was seen batting under the supervision of Naeem Amin, who currently serves as the assistant coach of the Gujarat Titans, an IPL franchise. This has stirred curiosity across the cricketing world, especially because Kohli has been a long-standing player and former captain for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The footage of Kohli’s practice was widely shared on social media, with fans eagerly dissecting every detail.
RCB Icon Trains with Gujarat Titans Coach
The most talked-about detail from Kohli’s practice session is the presence of Naeem Amin. Although it’s not unusual for international players to train with different coaches during the off-season, the timing and context here have sparked speculation. With Kohli training under the guidance of a rival IPL team’s coach, questions are being raised: Is this just a casual session, or does it hint at something more?
In the shared footage, Kohli is seen focusing on his batting, with Amin providing throwdowns and guidance. The environment appeared relaxed, but the symbolism of the training session hasn’t been lost on IPL followers. Given the dynamic nature of the IPL trade window and recent reshuffles across teams, fans are now wondering whether Kohli could be contemplating a move ahead of IPL 2026.
Rumours Swirl Ahead of IPL 2026 Trade Window
While no official statement has been made by Kohli, RCB, or Gujarat Titans, the timing of the session has naturally led to trade window buzz. With the IPL 2026 season on the horizon, franchises are already planning their strategies, and a player of Kohli’s stature is bound to be part of any major trade speculation.
Despite the rumours, Kohli has remained loyal to RCB since the inception of the IPL. However, the cricketing world knows well that surprises are always around the corner, especially in the IPL. Whether this training session means anything more remains to be seen—but it has certainly set the internet abuzz.
