Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Test series, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli attended an HSBC bank event in Mumbai. Sporting a dark brown ensemble, Kohli interacted with fans and enjoyed a lively conversation with host Gaurav Kapur.
Kohli’s long-standing place in India‘s Test lineup could be at risk after the Border-Gavaskar 2024-25 series against Australia, as the BCCI is reportedly considering tough decisions following India’s home series loss to New Zealand.
Kohli managed just 93 runs in 6 innings, putting India in a difficult position throughout the series. With qualification for the WTC final in jeopardy, the upcoming Test series against Australia could prove pivotal for Kohli’s future in red-ball cricket.

Kohli Falls to New Low in Test Rankings
Virat Kohli’s once-storied legacy in Test cricket has been tarnished by a rough patch following the Covid-19 pandemic. After a disappointing home series against New Zealand, Kohli has dropped out of the ICC Test batting rankings’ top 20 for the first time in a decade, now sitting at 22nd.
Meanwhile, his younger teammates, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal, have broken into the top 10. It seems the end of an era is approaching, with the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Series possibly marking the final chapter of King Kohli’s Test career.
