Delhi: Former captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli is now getting away from almost international cricket. He announced his retirement from this format after winning India’s T20 World Cup on 29 June 2024. India won the title by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in that final. Subsequently, on 12 May 2025, Kohli also announced his retirement from Test cricket.

Despite leaving both these formats, Virat Kohli made it clear that he would continue to play ODI cricket and want to contribute to the country. However, a picture of him recently revealed has created a wave of concern among the fans.

White beard picture went viral in London

Virat Kohli is living in London with his wife Anushka Sharma and children Vamika-Kiyya these days. In a recent picture going viral on the Internet, he can be seen posing for the photo during an event. However, this time the discussion is not about their smile or fitness, but about their white beard.

This new look of Kohli is becoming increasingly viral on social media and fans seem shocking this change. Seeing this picture, many people are fearing that Kohli is not preparing to retire from ODI cricket anywhere.

He himself mentioned the effect of age

Last month, during an event in England, Virat Kohli also gave an interesting reason behind retiring from Test cricket. He had said, “I was painted my beard two days ago, when you are coloring the beard every four days, you know that the time has come.”

He was pointing out that he is now at the point of age where both the body and the mind need a break.

Now it will be interesting to see whether Kohli really says goodbye to ODI cricket or is preparing to write a last golden story.
