‘Kohli has confirmed to the DDCA’

“Virat Kohli has confirmed to the DDCA today that he will play the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Though he has nothing to prove it shows that he still retains passion for the game. His recent hundred against South Africa shows he is still one of the best players in the world. Him playing the domestic tournament will be a motivation for the youngsters,” DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma had told The Indian Express last week.

Kohli has been in top form in the ODI circuit. In the three-match ODI series against South Africa, he amassed 302 runs - which featured a couple of centuries and an unbeaten fifty. His good show in the series also helped him climb up the ICC rankings. Kohli is currently No. 2 in the ODI rankings. He is in sublime form and hence he does want to play more just to stay in the groove. There is little doubt that there would be a huge turnout to watch him play as and when he takes the field.
