Kohli has retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket, and now focuses on ODIs, where he has the most centuries. Despite suggestions he might be phased out in this format, Kohli is committed to a strong return. He’s chosen a specific location for his preparations.
Photo of Virat with Sania Khan
A photo of Virat Kohli with former Pakistan women’s cricketer Sania Khan appeared on social media on August 18th. Sania, who is involved in coaching in London, took the picture at Lord’s. The photo, taken during Kohli’s practice, quickly went viral. The location was the historic Lord’s Stadium in London.
During the ongoing The Hundred matches, Kohli utilized the training facilities at Lord’s for practice. It is noteworthy that Kohli has never scored a century in any format at this particular stadium.
