Virat Kohli Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Virat Kohli’s week has been equal parts anticipation and intrigue. According to the Times of India and NDTV, there’s been wild speculation about his immediate cricket future, with India’s most-followed batsman and his long-time teammate Rohit Sharma heavily rumored to play for India A in an ODI series against Australia A in Kanpur as part of their prep for the upcoming Australia tour. However, as a senior BCCI official told NDTV on Tuesday, it’s highly unlikely either will play these warm-up matches, though both are confirmed fit and available for the marquee ODI series in Australia this October. No selection has been finalized and neither veteran will be forced to feature in India A games, the official clarified, reinforcing that Kohli’s giant presence in the ODI format is set to continue unchallenged, at least for now.

Kohli, who dramatically retired from Test cricket earlier this year—a move he announced in typically heartfelt style on Instagram—remains squarely in the limelight. Just a few months ago, he was gathering Player of the Match awards during the Champions Trophy, with key knocks against Australia and Pakistan that will surely find a prime place in any retelling of his cricketing saga. Even as excitement builds for his probable return to the Indian lineup down under, Kohli’s absence from certain matches is already being felt; Republic World reports that ticket sales for the upcoming India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash in Dubai are slower than usual, with Kohli’s absence cited as a major dampener for fan interest.

Off the pitch, Virat’s business empire keeps making headlines. Fincash details how his investments and endorsements are now a pillar of his biography, from his Puma One8 fashion and lifestyle line, Wrogn, and Chisel Fitness, to co-ownership in ISL football, tennis and wrestling teams. His social media royalty is undiminished, commanding tens of crores per post on Instagram and X, where his combined following is well over 320 million. A recent profile by Amra & Elma puts his influence among the world’s top athlete-entrepreneurs, and his new combined charity initiative ‘seVVA’ with wife Anushka Sharma signals his philanthropic ambitions are just as prodigious as his run-scoring ones.

Even in Mumbai’s Bandra, Virat and Anushka’s outing to sample dosas at the much-hyped Benne café caused a viral stir—and a little extra clout for the young restaurateurs, as reported by News18.

To wrap things up, Virat Kohli remains a phenomenon whose every move, be it on field, on Instagram, or on business registers, dominates headlines. No matter what the future holds for the King, the cricketing, entrepreneurial, and pop culture relevance of Kohli shows absolutely no sign of fading.
