Virat Kohli in good form
Virat Kohli recently scored a century in the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi. This was his 52nd ODI century. He has scored 14,390 runs in 306 matches in this format. But why has he decided to play domestic cricket? This question is on everyone’s mind right now. So let us tell you that the BCCI has made it mandatory for all its contracted players to play domestic cricket. Furthermore, Kohli now plays only one format, having retired from Tests and T20Is. Therefore, he has decided to play in this tournament to keep himself match fit.
