He has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cricket.com\/news\/india-star-confirms-icc-men-s-cwc27-will-be-his-last\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">confirmed that it will be his final World Cup representing India<\/a> and remains determined to help the team lift the trophy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, it\u2019s the last World Cup I\u2019m going to play for India. And that is my motivation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And of course, the goal is absolutely to win the World Cup. And whatever it takes, I\u2019m absolutely ready,&#8221; Kohli told JioStar in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli has made no secret of his desire to continue winning matches for India, with his personal ambitions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cricket.com\/tournaments\/icc-cricket-world-cup-2027\/news\/kohli-manifests-dream-finish-for-india-in-cwc-final\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">closely tied to the team&#8217;s success.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve always been someone who, every game that we play, I want to be the guy who wins us the game, so that&#8217;s never going to go away from me. I am made that way,&#8221; Kohli said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So my goal (at the World Cup) is to win as many games as I can for the team &#8211; 60-70% of the games would be phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dream is to play a match-winning, finishing knock in the finals, like chasing a score. That&#8217;s the ideal scenario. If it happens, great. If it doesn&#8217;t happen, we win the World Cup, I&#8217;ll be happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Having retired from Test and T20I cricket, Kohli has set his sights firmly on the 2027 ODI World&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,67813,67811,67817,67827,67823,67826,67824,16326,67825,67822,67828,67834,67833,67814,6518,67832,67816,67815,67810,67820,67821,67830,101,67829,67831,67819,67812,67818,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-784886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-live-score","tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","tag-cricket-match-result-today","tag-cricket-match-today-live","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-results-today","tag-cricket-scorecard-live","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-international-cricket-live-score","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-scores","tag-live-cricket-match-update","tag-odi-cricket-live-score","tag-sports","tag-t20-cricket-live-score","tag-test-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-todays-cricket-match-score","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
