Bibhash Lodh, BS News Agency: At the moment, away from cricket, former captain of the Indian Cricket Team, Virat Kohli, is spending time with his family. A few days ago, many had raised questions about whether he would have a chance in the upcoming ODI World Cup (2027 ODI World Cup). But this year, his bat has silenced the critics with a roar.
Be it the ODI series against New Zealand at home or the three-match ODI series in England, Kohli has been consistently scoring runs in all situations. He is the most in-form star of the Indian team and it is most important for him to be in the team if they are to win the next ODI World Cup.
The Indian superstar is currently 37. This year, Virat Kohli has added an incredible record to his name. Virat Kohli's ODI average at this particular age is 85.75. He is the only star in world cricket to have achieved the feat of averaging 50 or more runs at a total of 10 different ages. Let's take a look at the years when Kohli averaged over 50 in ODIs:
Age 23 (Kohli's average: 70.50)
Age 24 (Kohli's average: 51.65)
Age 27 (Kohli's average: 92.37)
Age 28 (Kohli's average: 76.84)
Age 29 (Kohli's average: 133.5)
Age 30 (Kohli's average: 64.40)
Age 32 (Kohli's average: 50.33)
Age 34 (Kohli's average: 62.15)
Age 35 (Kohli's average: 63.50)
Age 37 (Kohli's average: 85.75) Virat Kohli will return to the Indian team jersey for the first time in the ODI series against the West Indies next month. Now he is not on the field in any format other than ODIs in the Indian jersey. As a result, he has only one format to play in international cricket. Indian fans will want him to play in all of India's ODI series before the World Cup.
