Australia captain Alyssa Healy revealed that she had seen a video of Kohli practicing with red balls during IPL 2025, and suggested that something may have happened influenced his decision to retire.

Virat Kohli will be a key player in the IPL 2025 final against Punjab Kings, as Royal Challengers Bengaluru look to secure their maiden IPL title.

However, fans will have to wait longer to see Kohli back on the field, as he recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. He will not be part of the upcoming five-match Test series against England, starting June 20th.

Kohli’s sudden decision to step away from Test cricket came as a surprise to many. Following the announcement, Australia captain Alyssa Healy and broadcaster Adam Peacock made some controversial remarks. Healy revealed that she had seen a video of Kohli practicing with red balls during IPL 2025, and suggested that something may have happened in recent weeks that influenced his decision to retire.

“I saw a video of him hitting red balls during IPL. Something’s gone on in the last couple of weeks. I don’t know what it is. I was like, ‘interesting’. I don’t think he was ready to give it up. I would say that,” Healy said on the Willow Talk Podcast.

Adam Peacock claimed that there is more to the relationship between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, and the details will unravel in time to come.

“Given he doesn’t exactly need to play the final, pack his bags, and get out to England. I was speaking to someone last week with a knowledge of the situation, and I think there’s more to come in the whole story of the Gambhir-Kohli relationship,” Peacock said.
