Composed Kohli silences Adelaide fears, but he knows every innings now carries extra weight

Virat Kohli Silences Retirement Rumors

Virat Kohli's gesture at Adelaide sparked retirement rumors, but his demeanor on Friday suggested his reaction was sentimental rather than symbolic.

Kohli and Rohit Sharma returned to international cricket after a seven-month hiatus, and every move they make is being scrutinized.
