Resolution criteria

This market resolves to the date when Virat Kohli officially retires from all forms of competitive cricket.

Because Kohli has already retired from T20 Internationals (June 29, 2024) and Test cricket (May 12, 2025), he must retire from his remaining active formats—specifically One Day Internationals (ODIs) and domestic/franchise leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL)—for this market to resolve.

• Resolution Date: The market will resolve to the date of his official public announcement of retirement from all remaining forms of competitive cricket, or the date of his final professional match, whichever occurs first.

• Inactivity Fallback: If Kohli does not make a formal retirement announcement but remains permanently inactive, and major cricket boards or media outlets officially confirm his professional career has ended, this market will resolve to the date of his last played professional match.

• Sources of Truth: Verified announcements from Virat Kohli's official social media channels, official statements from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), or reporting from major cricket outlets such as ESPNcricinfo and Cricbuzz.

Background

Virat Kohli has been executing a phased exit from professional cricket. He retired from T20 Internationals immediately after India's T20 World Cup victory on June 29, 2024, and subsequently announced his retirement from Test cricket on May 12, 2025.

As of mid-2026, the 37-year-old remains active only in the ODI format for India and continues to play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL. Kohli has previously indicated an interest in playing through the 2027 ODI World Cup. This market tracks the exact date he will walk away from all remaining professional competitive cricket.
