The star of the Indian team, Virat Kohli, who attracts fans with his impressive form, recently scored record runs, hitting a powerful century against the West Indies.
Kohli has focused his attention on the upcoming 2027 ODI World Cup. During a conversation with 'Star Sports' specialists, he openly shared his ambitions regarding this tournament.
He spoke about his main dream—to achieve the team's victory in the final match by playing the decisive innings himself. Kohli expressed a desire to help India win in a chase scenario in the final. He noted that if he manages to fulfill this dream, it will be the realization of his cherished wish.
However, he also emphasized that even if his personal goal is not achieved, he will be happy with India's victory in the World Cup. He made it clear that for him, the country's victory in the tournament is more important than any personal records.
Kohli previously stated that the 2027 ODI World Cup will be the last 50-over format tournament, which motivates him not to spare any effort this time. He added that when the situation on the field becomes difficult, he sees himself as the one who pulls the team out of crisis, and this inspires him to play at such a high level.
Earlier in his career, Kohli participated in two ODI World Cup finals. Specifically, he played an important innings in the 2011 final against Sri Lanka, and also scored impressive half-centuries in the 2023 final.
