  "account": "Virat Kohli has announced that the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia will be his final tournament for India. He made this declaration to JioStar, expressing his intention to give his all in his last World Cup appearance. Kohli has already retired from T20 internationals and Tests, leaving the 50-over format as his final opportunity for India. As of now, he has 14 confirmed bilateral ODIs scheduled before the World Cup, distributed across India's home series against West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, and a match against Zimbabwe. If India manages to win the World Cup, Kohli could see as many as six additional ODIs with the team.",
