The World Cup is the first for many players and for many players it is their last World Cup. This tradition will continue this time also. There are many such legendary players, who can say goodbye to one-decade cricket after this upcoming tournament. However, we are going to tell you about an Indian batsman who is almost certain to retire from the ODI format after the World Cup 2023.
Virat Kohli will play his last World Cup
Team India's veteran batsman Virat Kohli can say goodbye to the ODI format after the upcoming World Cup 2023. Actually, Virat is 35 years old and even though he is one of the fittest players in the cricket field, he will need a lot of rest to play cricket continuously at this age.
In the present era where bilateral series are being played one after the other and one ICC tournament is being played almost every year, it has become quite challenging for the players to keep themselves match fit. Because they are not getting enough rest. In such a situation, Virat Kohli would also like to reduce his workload by retiring from one format.
Why would you retire from ODI only?
Virat Kohli himself has said many times that he considers Test cricket to be the best and purest format of cricket. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Virat will first say goodbye to the ODI format to reduce his workload. Even after this, if Virat feels difficulty in his game, then he can say goodbye to T20 cricket also.
Similarly, England's legendary fast bowler James Anderson has prolonged his Test career by retiring from ODI and T20 formats. Anderson played his last white ball match in 2015. But 41 year old James Anderson is still active in Test cricket and often gives match-winning performances for England.
