Virat Kohli had some memorable moments in 2025, a year that will hold a special place in the hearts of his millions of fans across the world. Having retired from T20Is and Tests, the 37-year-old has continued to be a pillar at the top of the order for the Men in Blue in the 50-over format.

While 2025 had many highs and lows for the Indian team, whatever Virat Kohli touched turned to gold, both in international and domestic cricket. The former India captain is currently representing Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and he has already bagged Player of the Match awards in the two games he has played so far.

In this article, CricTracker has a look at the top three moments of the iconic batter in the year.

Virat Kohli dropped a bombshell midway through IPL 2025 when he called time on his Test career. The right-handed batter, who favoured five-day cricket over any other format, was expected to play a significant role during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. However, his abrupt retirement forced India to change their plans heading into the 2025-2027 World Test Championship cycle.

Kohli finished his Test career with a stellar record. He amassed 9230 runs from 123 Tests at a staggering average of 46.85. The veteran also smashed 31 half-centuries and 30 tons during his illustrious career in the red-ball format, stepping down as one of the most prolific batters of the modern-day era, which inspired millions of fans to watch Test cricket.
