Call for Kohli's 2027 World Cup Send-Off
Virat Kohli is one of the greatest cricket players from India.
He has played for many years and has scored a lot of runs.
Arun Dhumal, who is the chairman of the Indian Premier League, thinks that Kohli should get a special send-off at the 2027 World Cup, just like Sachin Tendulkar did in 2011.
Tendulkar is another famous Indian cricketer who retired after that World Cup.
Kohli is still playing well and has scored over 300 runs in recent matches.
He and his teammate Rohit Sharma are both important players for India.
Dhumal believes they should be honored for their contributions to the sport.
Indian Premier League chairman Arun Dhumal proposes a grand send-off for Virat Kohli at the 2027 World Cup, similar to Sachin Tendulkar's 2011 send-off.
Kohli is chasing Tendulkar's record of 100 international hundreds and has shown consistent performance, recently scoring over 300 runs in three ODIs against South Africa.
Kohli and Rohit Sharma are both key players for India, with Rohit having reinvented his game and shown phenomenal performance as captain.
By 2027, Kohli will have completed 18 years in international cricket and will be nearing 40 years old.
Dhumal suggests that as long as Kohli and Rohit continue to play well, there should be no questions about their future in the team.
