Star India batter Virat Kohli had a forgettable outing in the second ODI of the ongoing series against Australia. After being dismissed for a duck in the first game, Kohli failed to score in the second ODI as well, marking the first time in his career that he has recorded consecutive ducks in ODI cricket.
However, it was an incident after Kohli’s dismissal that drew significant attention. As he walked back to the pavilion, Kohli appeared to be thanking the fans in Adelaide for their support, which sparked widespread speculation about his potential retirement from international cricket. A clip of the moment has gone viral on social media, with fans debating what this gesture could mean for his future.
The series so far has been disappointing for Kohli, who will be looking to bounce back in the third and final ODI. With the ODI World Cup 2027 approaching, questions regarding Kohli’s continued role and future in the Indian team have intensified, adding to the anticipation surrounding his performance in the concluding match.
