Virat Kohli’s decade-old tweet goes viral amid rumours of Duleep Trophy comeback
Did you hear the news about the teen’s viral tweet concerning Virat Kohli, India’s famous cricketer? The topic was his potential play in the Duleep Trophy. It spread like wildfire after rumors said the seasoned player would join the upcoming season. This buzz was due to a 2010 tweet from Kohli himself, stating, “Wishing me the best for the Duleep Trophy.” When he tweeted this, he had already built a reputation in India’s white ball team. It’s worth noting, Kohli hasn’t played domestic cricket since 2012.

His last game was for Delhi against UP in the Ranji Trophy. On another note, reports regarding Kohli’s Duleep Trophy participation are mixed. ESPNcricinfo shared that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah would not participate. Instead, players including Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul would join this September tournament. Jai Shah, BCCI secretary, urged cricketers to be available for domestic games when not on the national team. Yet, they reportedly exempted Kohli and senior players due to a full Test schedule. Rohit Sharma’s squad will play two Tests against Bangladesh plus a three-game Test against New Zealand. They’re scheduled to tour Australia for five matches in November.
The Duleep Trophy game provides a chance for individuals like KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer to secure positions in Team India. Lastly, Virat Kohli has struggled to find form this season. Although he excelled during the T20 World Cup final, he hasn’t been particularly notable aside from that. Given Kohli’s impressive past performance against Bangladesh (437 runs over 6 Test matches with two centuries), he hopes to regain his form before the major series against New Zealand and Australia.
