Overview
- Kohli, speaking on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru podcast on Friday, said he wants to keep playing and would like to feature at the 2027 ODI World Cup if the value is two‑sided.
- He said he will not stay in a setup that asks him to keep proving his worth and he called for a steady, consistent stance on selection.
- Kohli added that he knows his own answer on 2027 yet he stopped short of giving a firm public commitment.
- After retiring from T20 internationals in 2024 and Tests in 2025, he now focuses on ODIs and says he is always ready to play due to year‑round fitness work.
- Recent form supports his case, including an unbeaten 105 in the IPL, and the July ODI series against England is the next selection marker with no clear word yet from head coach Gautam Gambhir.
