Ravichandran Ashwin Supports Virat Kohli's Retirement After 2027 ODI World Cup and Highlights Potential 100-Century Milestone
In the first ODI against the West Indies, Virat Kohli scored a century leading India to an 8-wicket victory. Former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, on his YouTube channel, expressed his support for Kohli's plan to retire after the 2027 ODI World Cup, noting it would be difficult for him to maintain elite fitness and form beyond that. Ashwin acknowledged the intense effort Kohli puts behind the scenes and felt it is logical for Kohli not to extend his ODI career past 2027 since he has retired from Test and T20 formats. Additionally, Ashwin praised Kohli's pursuit of Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 centuries, calling it a remarkable achievement that would place both players on the same level if achieved.
