David Warner recently gave his opinion on the future of Virat Kohli in cricket. The Australian cricketer replied to a fan’s opinion on the future of Virat and said that Virat can definitely play till 2031. The fan hoped to see Virat playing the 2031 ODI World Cup replying to the comment of the fan on X, Warner said that the star Indian cricketer can definitely play as long as he wishes to.
Warner said that Virat Kohli is very fit as an athlete and loves the game. “No reason why he can’t, he is very fit and loves the game so much,” wrote X. The tweet of Warner has gone viral on internet. The fans are sharing the opinions of Warner and are praising the fitness of Virat. It is interesting to note that the two cricketers have been playing cricket since the late 2000s.
Warner came into the scheme of things in late 2000s due to his performances in Sheffield Shield cricket and other domestic tournament in Australia. The Southpaw had scored a lot of runs for his domestic team New South Wales in different formats. On the other hand, Virat became popular for helping India to win the Under-19 World Cup 2008 as a captain.
Playing 8 more years possible for Virat?
While Virat is one of the fittest cricketers and without a doubt the most passionate cricketer in the world, it is worth wondering if it is practically possible for him to play till 2031. Virat is already 35 years old and will be 42 or 43 by the time the ODI World Cup 2031 starts. There are very few instances where cricketers have represented their teams at that age at the highest level.
Although the fans would love him to continue playing as long as possible, it seems like playing till 2031 is a bit of exaggeration. If Virat pulls off this challenge, it might be one of the greatest feats by a player, given how hectic the cricketing schedule is these days. If anything, Virat might be the most probable player to play till that period.
