The full house at the JSCA International Stadium Complex here enjoyed three hours of Virat Kohli at his absolute best. It was vintage stuff — wristy flicks, charging at pacers, and straight drives from the Sachin Tendulkar playbook.

It was a fitting response to those who questioned Kohli’s future in the ODI set-up. A sublime 120-ball 135 proved that Kohli is here to stay. The next World Cup may be two years away, but Sunday’s (November 30, 2025) knock was a reminder of the tremendous value that Kohli brings to the national team.
