Virat Kohli ODI return: Virat Kohli has started his training again as he gets ready to return to one-day international cricket. He’s now in London and has already begun his practice indoors. He trained with Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Naeem Amin on Friday and also posted pictures from the session. Kohli was wearing a grey t-shirt and blue shorts and looked very fit and cheerful during the practice.

He thanked Naeem for the session on Instagram and shared a picture with the message, “Thanks for helping out with the hit, brother. Always lovely to see you.” Naeem also replied on Instagram saying, “Good to see you brother! See you soon.”
He is expected to rejoin the Indian team for the ODI series in Australia, which is planned from October 19 to 25. Kohli was earlier supposed to return in the series against Bangladesh in August, but that got pushed back as the series was postponed.

The last time Kohli played a big match was in June during the IPL 2025 final. In that match, he made 43 runs and helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru win their first IPL title ever by beating Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad.
He already has an amazing record in ODIs with 14,181 runs and a massive 51 centuries. That’s the most centuries in this format. In the last ODI World Cup, he made a new record by scoring 765 runs in the tournament, which broke Sachin Tendulkar’s old record.
ODI match in October
Team India won’t be playing any international matches in August 2025. In September, they’ll head to the UAE for the Asia Cup, happening from September 9 to 28 across two stadiums.
Then, in early October, India will play two Test matches at home against West Indies, with the second one in Delhi from October 10 to 14.
After that, the team will fly to Australia for a short white-ball series. The ODI series begins on October 19 in Perth, followed by matches on October 23 in Adelaide and October 25 in Sydney.
