Virat Kohli has arrived in Australia with Team India for a three-match ODI series against the six-time World Cup champions. The team landed in Perth on Wednesday night, and the former India captain took to X on Thursday morning to share a post that quickly went viral: “The only time you truly fail is when you decide to give up.”
The only time you truly fail, is when you decide to give up.

Virat Kohli’s ODI Future
Fans are now speculating about Kohli’s ODI future. Having retired from T20Is in June 2024 and Tests in May 2025, many wonder if he might also step away from 50-over cricket after this series. Kohli last played an ODI against New Zealand in March 2025, scoring just 1 run from two balls, yet he is only 54 runs away from becoming the second-highest run-getter in ODI history.
While some view his tweet as a hint towards retirement, others believe it is Kohli’s way of responding to critics questioning his commitment. The India-Australia series will not only test his form but could also define the next chapter of his legendary career.
