Kohli’s IPL Future: One Format, Big Questions!

Irfan Pathan drops truth bombs on Kohli’s IPL role—what’s next?

CricPlay1 min read

Virat Kohli's IPL 2026 prospects just hit a snag, and Irfan Pathan’s got the tea. With King Kohli focusing solely on ODIs, the dynamics of his role in the IPL are about to change drastically. Let’s be real—transitioning from a multi-format legend to a one-format star isn’t a walk in the park, even for the greats.

Pathan's words resonate: "It’s not easy for anyone." Kohli’s iconic status and IPL pedigree might not cut it if he’s only swinging for the one-day format. Will he still be the destructive force we know and love, or will he struggle like a village pie chucker on a flat deck?

As the IPL approaches, the big question looms: can Kohli adapt his game and re-establish himself as a T20 beast? All eyes will be glued to the pitch—can the run machine crank it up one more time?
