His last cricket appearance was in IPL 2025, where he emerged as RCB’s highest run-scorer with 657 runs across 15 matches, including eight half-centuries.

In recent cricket discussions, England spinner Adil Rashid shared his perspective on bowling to Kohli compared to Pakistan’s Babar Azam during an appearance on the ‘Beard Before Wicket’ podcast.”For me, who I found more difficult to bowl to would be Kohli purely just because of the game situations firstly. He can put pressure back on the opposition, not only by hitting fours and sixes but you know you need to get him out because if he is chasing, if he stays for 10-15 overs it’s going to be the game,” Rashid stated.

Rashid further elaborated on his choice: “So you think lets get him out early. 70-80% percent of the time if he is chasing, you know they will win the game. Babar is not known for that. So I would say Kohli was the harder one to bowl to for me.”Throughout his cricket career, Kohli has established himself as one of the sport’s most accomplished batsmen. His career statistics span 550 matches across all formats, during which he has accumulated 27,599 runs at an impressive average of 52.27. His record includes 82 centuries and 143 half-centuries.
