Senior Indian batter Virat Kohli took a brief break from his training session at Lord’s in London to click pictures with fans. The Delhi-born star was last in action during IPL 2025, where he represented Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
In that season, the 36-year-old scored 657 runs across 15 innings at an impressive average of 54.75 and a strike rate of 144.71. His tally included eight half-centuries, playing a pivotal role in guiding RCB to their first-ever IPL title.
Since the end of the tournament, Kohli has been spending time in London with his family. On Saturday, August 23, a fan account (@KohliSensation) shared a few pictures of the batting icon posing with admirers during his training session at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

“Stop Worrying About Retirement”- Rajeev Shukla On Kohli & Rohit
With senior stars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma having retired from Tests and T20Is, speculation has turned to their ODI careers, even though the 2027 World Cup is still some years away. In a recent conversation with Long Off Lounge, BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla was asked if the iconic duo would receive a farewell whenever they choose to retire. He responded:
“Where have they retired yet? Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will both play in ODI. Why are you worrying about their retirement and farewell now? There is no need to worry about it. The BCCI policy is very clear. We don’t tell any player to retire, they themselves take the decision and we respect that.”
“We will tell how to do the farewell when the time comes. You guys want to do their farewell already. Virat Kohli is very fit and plays well. Rohit Sharma plays well. Why should we worry about the farewell now?”
