Virat Kohli: Key figure for Team India in upcoming World Cup

In the forthcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli will be expected to play a key role for Team India. There are speculations that the upcoming World Cup could be the last of his illustrious ODI career, thus, if this is the case or irrespective, all eyes would fall on Virat Kohli. In ODI cricket he has established himself as a legend, has a World Cup to his name as well, and could soon add another. As for the individual records, besides the 50th-century mark, which is looming and could be attained very soon, Kohli is more than 5,000 runs away from becoming the all-time highest scorer in ODIs. To get that under his belt, he might have to at least another 100 ODIs. Which may or may not be likely, given the reduction of ODI cricket in the last few years.
