After Break, Virat Kohli Swings Back Into Action With Gujarat Titans Coach

Virat Kohli has started to train again after a few months away from the game. The former India captain was seen training in London, marking his first public cricket session since the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) final against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in June which Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won to lift their maiden title.

Kohli had been on a break since then. He has been living in London with his family and has kept away from the spotlight. 

Now, the 36-year-old is slowly getting back into cricket mode. He has been training with Naeem Amin, assistant coach of Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL. Amin also runs the Mighty Willow Academy in London. Virat Kohli shared a photo with him on Instagram, thanking him for the session.

Virat Kohli Shares Training Photo

Kohli took to Instagram to share a picture with Amin and thanked him for the session. 

"Thanks for helping out with the hit brother. Always lovely to see you," Kohli shared a photo of him with Amin from the session on his Instagram story. 

The post quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom were happy to see him back.

Kohli now plays only ODI cricket. He has retired from T20Is and Tests. His main goal is to be ready for the 2027 ODI World Cup.

When Will Virat Kohli Return to Action?

Kohli was expected to return in the ODI series against Bangladesh in August but the tour has been postponed. His next chance to play for India will come in October in the away ODI series against Australia.

The series will be important for Kohli. It will give him a chance to show he is still India’s important player in the format and to put any doubts about his future to rest.
