Kohli's Interview in the Australia Series

During the ODI series against Australia, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma made their comeback to the international team after months. They had last played for the team in the Champions Trophy 2025 and eventually announced their retirements from the Test format.

Following this, Kohli went on a break to London, where he spent time with his family. When he returned to the game with the ODI series against Australia, he also participated in an interview with various former cricketers. There, he reflected on the time he spent with his family, and how he loved the break.

Kohli said, “It’s been a long time off for me since I retired from Test cricket. I was catching up on life. I haven’t been able to do anything, I don’t know for how many years, just been able to spend some quality time with kids, with family at home. It’s been a beautiful phase and something that I really enjoyed.”

He continued by saying, “To be honest, the amount of cricket I have played over the last 15-20 years, I have actually not rested at all. I have probably played the most number of games in international cricket, combining the IPL together. So, for me, it was a very refreshing time off. I am feeling as fit, if not fitter than I have ever been before, and you can feel the freshness when you can play the game, and mentally you know what to do out there. It’s just the physical preparation that really needs to be taken care of. At this stage I realised if my body is fit and my reflexes are there.”

IPL & International Return

The King will now be making his return to the game this month, as the Indian Premier League 2026 is about to commence from the last week of March. He will be playing in the IPL for the first time as the defending champions, as RCB were able to lift the title last season. Kohli also made it clear that he is there to play a few more seasons for the team, as he continues to dominate in the IPL.
