Virat Kohli: The performance of the Indian batsmen in the recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka was quite disappointing. Except Rohit Sharma, no other batsman looked comfortable in scoring runs against the Sri Lankan spinners. Virat Kohli, from whom everyone had high expectations that he would play well, proved to be a big flop in all three matches.

Now he may have to suffer the consequences of this in the future. Head coach Gautam Gambhir may show the 35-year-old player the way out of the ODI team. This means that this right-handed batsman may be deprived of playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan next year. Let us know in detail in this article which player we are talking about.

Virat Kohli will not play Champions Trophy 2025!

Virat Kohli has become a big name in the cricket world. His importance in Team India is not hidden from anyone. He has been continuously contributing to his team for more than a decade. However, his form has declined in the last few months. The reason behind this is that he is not playing much cricket. The effect of less practice is clearly visible on his batting.

This was seen during the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan spinners got him out LBW in all three matches. Before this, Kohli has rarely been out more than once in a row while missing the line of the ball. Based on this performance, it does not seem possible for Virat Kohli to be selected in the Champions Trophy 2025 team.

Such was his performance against Sri Lanka

Team India played a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka from August 2. It was organized in Colombo. In the first match, Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion after scoring 24 runs. In the second ODI, the right-handed batsman could only score 14 runs. In the third ODI, this player's poor form continued and Kohli was out once again after scoring 20 runs.
