Kohli's Quest To Win WTC

Kohli came close to winning the World Test Championship on two occasions, in 2021 and 2023, but India lost in the final both times, to New Zealand and Australia, respectively. Now that he has retired from T20Is, Kohli will focus on ODIs and Tests in the later days of his career, determined to secure the only remaining trophy missing from his collection.

In the final match, Kohli played a pivotal innings, scoring 76 runs off 59 deliveries, rescuing the Indian team from a precarious position. His performance was crucial in leading India to their second T20 World Cup title, ending a 13-year World Cup trophy drought. Kohli's efforts earned him the Player of the Match award.
