Former Pakistani cricketer Younis Khan has extended a heartfelt invitation to Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli, encouraging him to participate in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan. Khan’s gesture underscores his deep respect for Kohli’s illustrious career and his hope that cricket can act as a bridge between India and Pakistan.
Kohli, along with Rohit Sharma, recently announced their retirement from T20 internationals following India’s triumph in the T20 World Cup. Despite their exit from the shorter format, Gautam Gambhir, the newly appointed head coach of the Indian team, has suggested that both Kohli and Sharma could potentially extend their careers and contribute to the 2027 World Cup if they remain in good form.
This ongoing discussion about the future of these veteran players reflects their significant impact on the game and the potential for their continued influence in international cricket.
