Having retired from Test and T20I cricket, Kohli has set his sights firmly on the 2027 ODI World Cup. He has confirmed that it will be his final World Cup representing India and remains determined to help the team lift the trophy.
“For me, it’s the last World Cup I’m going to play for India. And that is my motivation.
“And of course, the goal is absolutely to win the World Cup. And whatever it takes, I’m absolutely ready,” Kohli told JioStar in an interview.
Kohli has made no secret of his desire to continue winning matches for India, with his personal ambitions closely tied to the team’s success.
“I’ve always been someone who, every game that we play, I want to be the guy who wins us the game, so that’s never going to go away from me. I am made that way,” Kohli said.
“So my goal (at the World Cup) is to win as many games as I can for the team – 60-70% of the games would be phenomenal.
“My dream is to play a match-winning, finishing knock in the finals, like chasing a score. That’s the ideal scenario. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t happen, we win the World Cup, I’ll be happy.”
