Virat Kohli with Indian side during England ODIs | PC- AFPThere is Virat Kohli, there is daylight, and then they are the rest!

Akram admitted that the forthcoming marquee event will be the last for the Indian great, who has been playing at the highest level for the last 18 years. "This should be the last (World Cup) for Virat. He is also a player, not a Dracula who'll be playing for the next 100 years. Can Virat Kohli end on a high with 2027 World Cup silverware?With over 28,500 international runs under his belt, Virat Kohli is just behind his idol, Sachin Tendulkar, in total runs. Meanwhile, he is also on course for the landmark 100-century mark, with just 14 more to go. However, chasing milestones would be the last thing on Kohli's mind. What he would be chasing would be to end on a high, with a coveted trophy in his hands, after missing it by a whisker the last time around in India. Nevertheless, the run-scoring machine will likely next be seen in action one day before his 37th birthday, in the first of the five ODIs vs New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland.
