Please don't ask any questions about Virat's fitness - Harbhajan Singh

Kohli was last seen in action in competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, where the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally ended their title drought and lifted their first championship.

For India, the chase-master was last seen in action in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, where he showcased consistent batting performances and helped India win the title in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He has already announced his retirement from Test and T20I cricket and will next travel to Australia for a three-match ODI series that will start on October 19.

Speaking ahead of the tour, Harbhajan Singh expressed his excitement over seeing Kohli make his comeback to cricket and labeled him as the fittest cricketer in the world.

“Please don't ask any questions about Virat's fitness. When it comes to fitness, he's a guru. Everyone follows what he does. There's absolutely no concern about Virat Kohli's fitness; he's fit, probably fitter than many of those currently playing alongside him. In today's international cricket, he's arguably the fittest player out there. Now, I'm just looking forward to seeing Virat back in action,” Harbhajan said on JioHotstar's ‘Amul Cricket Live', as quoted by IANS.

“Fans have missed watching him, and personally, I'd love to see him continue playing the One-Day International format for a while longer because he still has so much to offer."

I genuinely felt he still had four to five years left in him - Harbhajan Singh

Harbhajan Singh further bashed Virat Kohli for retiring from two formats, saying that the right-handed batsman still has 4-5 years of dominance left in him.

"I genuinely felt he still had four to five years left in him, not just to play, but to dominate, because that's the kind of batter he is. He's now heading to Australia, his favorite place to bat, and I'm sure he'll once again show his mettle there.

"We've seen him score tons of runs in those conditions before, and I believe he'll do it again. The same goes for Rohit; I'm looking forward to both these legends scoring heavily for India and helping the team win matches,” Harbhajan said.

Virat Kohli backed to slam 2 tons vs Australia

India ODI skipper Shubman Gill has made it pretty clear that Virat Kohli is in their plans for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027. However, the road to marquee competition won't be easy for Virat Kohli because of his limited appearances in competitive cricket.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh further said that a big player like Virat Kohli loves playing in challenging conditions and predicted him to score two ODI centuries in Australia.

“Some players thrive when things get difficult; that's when they bring out their best. And Virat Kohli is one of those players. He shines on big occasions, and that's what sets him apart from others. He waits for those big opportunities, those high-pressure games, and that's when he shows why he's a champion.

"When you perform against the best, that's when you earn respect, and he's earned that, especially after scoring those hundreds in Australia and taking on the responsibility of leading the team. Those are the challenges he looks forward to. Australia is his favourite hunting ground, and now he's making his comeback after the IPL. I'm really looking forward to seeing him bat in those three ODIs, and hopefully, out of those three, he gets at least two centuries for India,” Harbhajan said.
