'Either be honest with me or just keep quiet': Virat Kohli says he won’t stay where he must 'prove worth' amid ODI future debate
Virat Kohli has said he does not want things to be "complicated" around his place in the Indian team and made it clear that if he is constantly made to prove his value, then that environment is "not meant" for him. Speaking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s podcast, Kohli said he still enjoys playing cricket and remains interested in playing the 2027 ODI World Cup, but only if there is clarity from both sides. "I am always ready because that's my daily life.
You know, I work out, we eat well at home. It is because I like living that way. It is not only to play cricket.
So that is where I am. I mean, this 27 (2027 World Cup) chat and all that... I've been asked so many times, 'do you want to play 27?
'," he said. "I know the answer. Like, why would I leave my home, you know, get my stuff over and be like, I don't know what I want.
Of course, if I'm playing, I want to play cricket. I want to carry on. Playing a World Cup for India is amazing.
