The veteran Cricket player from India, Virat Kohli, was finally in action for the first time during the Odi series against England. Kohli played in the second hate in Cuttack after missing the first game due to an injury.
However, his conversations with former England captain Kevin Pietersen are something that has caught the eyeballs of the spectators. While Kohli is part of India’s team, Pietersen is working with the host station for her duties as a commentator. Both were seen sharing a laugh among them during the first hate.
Again it was seen having an intense conversation between them during the second ODI in Cuttack. The conversations have led to several speculations with the former opener of India Aakash Chopra who predicts that Kohli could be asking Piettersen about real estate prices in London.

Kevin Pietersen reveals his conversation with Virat Kohli
During his comment with Star Sports, Aakash Chopra predicted if Virat Kohli and Kevin Pietersen could be discussing something about real estate in London since Kohli lives there now.
“Well, he (Virat Kohli) lives abroad most of the time now, so he could be asking him (Kevin Piettersen) about real estate in London and some good locations there,” Chopra said on Air.
When asked on Pietters about the conversation, he asked viewers not to assume things. In the middle, the former batter of India Southship Raina suspected that the conversation could be playing golf. Pietersen quickly responded to this and hinted at a conversation similar to this topic.
“You never assume things. I can use an analogy about the assumptions, but I will not do it here,” said Piettersen.
“You are not very wrong there, you know,” Pietersen said to Raina about the conversation about the golf game. “I have told him (Kohli), you have to start playing golf. What a great game is,” he added.

Virat Kohli London Connection
Virat Kohli has been residing in London for quite some time. He and his wife Anushka Sharma welcomed their second child, Akaay, in the same city and the whole family has been living there during the last year or so.
Kohli lost the test series against England in early 2024 due to the birth of his second child. He returned to India to play at IPL 2024 and then participated in the World Cup T20 2024, helping India a victory for the title.
He arrived in India to join the country’s celebrations, but he soon went to London to be with his family. Kohli’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, also talked about the plans of veteran Cricket to permanently move to London soon, especially after his retirement.
It is not a great return for Kohli virat in Odis
Virat Kohli returned to Odi format for the first time since August 2024, when he played the second game between India and England in Cuttack.
However, he was fired for only 5 of 8 balls by the Adil Rashid leg spinner. Kohli had previously lost the first hate due to a knee injury before. Its objective is to return to the form by scoring some races in the final game of the series.
