In order to regain form before the Asia Cup and the T20 world cup, BCCI selectors want Virat Kohli to play 3 ODIs against Zimbabwe. A failure there will not force him to retire. With the money these players are earning, cricket must be a cruel game. The most important thing is that you are involved in advertising, and they want you to play even if you don't perform. Based on his past performance, how many days can he survive? Several young players are waiting to make their debut in the team, so why don't selectors ignore Virat? In fact, avoiding him is very difficult.

LOL.. so the selectors are saying that Virat Kohli is capable only against weak teams such as Zimbabwe? He is 33 years old and I don't expect him to retire anytime soon. Dhoni went on playing international cricket well in to his late 30s, without becoming a burden to the team. If Kohli can contribute, then I don't see any issues in him playing for India until 2026-27. But he needs to focus on his game. Even now, when he is out of form, I don't see him participating in any domestic cricket tournaments (either in India or outside).

There is no doubt Virat Kohli is one of the best batsman in current era but in last three years he lost his form badly, and they are not doing anything for this like we just check few players are retiring from few formats as they are feeling burden and with this they can do some better why in Virat Kohli case it's not, not happening.

He can announce his retirement from ODI and t20i for having some better concentration in test matches and just IPL because it's all about money hopefully this can give him some better touch, and he can play for India long time, but deadlock is on and nothing is positive happening in this case for BCCI and Virat Kohli.

Isn't it strange that he retired from the shorter format of the game but will keep on playing the shortest format IPL?

Anyways even if he retires from international cricket, he will be playing IPL for many years. Also when you have no pressure from the Int. cricket, sometimes you may perform well in the domestic cricket or franchise-based formats.
