Virat Kohli says he will consider playing in India’s campaign for the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup only if he believes he can contribute meaningfully to the team. In comments reported by outlets, Kohli emphasizes that commitment matters regardless of circumstances, saying he would compete “for every ball like it’s the last ball.” At the same time, he links his participation to performance and impact, stating that if he cannot add value to India’s side, he will not be part of the tournament. The statements outline Kohli’s approach as conditional: he is not ruling out involvement, but he is also not guaranteeing it. Instead, he frames the decision around what he can deliver on the field, implying that selection and participation would be driven by team needs and his ability to contribute during the lead-up to 2027.
