India’s tour of West Indies is all set to begin on 12 July 2023 as both teams will play a two-match Test series first. After that, they will play a three-match ODI series and a five-match T20I series. However, Virat Kohli will be seen in action in both the Test and ODI series while he has not been considered for the T20I series.
After failing to score in the recent World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, fans will hope to see him scoring big runs in this upcoming tour. Now, ahead of the series, a video has gone viral where Virat Kohli was seen providing autographs to young talented cricketers of the West Indies. Fans also shared their views on social media.
Here is the shared video:

Virat Kohli has played nine Tests so far in West Indies
Meanwhile, in a recent chat with Star Sports, Kohli shared his favourite memory of playing in the West Indies. As of now, in this country, he has scored 463 runs at an average of 35.61, including two fifties and one century in 13 innings of nine matches. Virat Kohli said: “My best and favourite memory from West Indies is scoring a double hundred in Test cricket in front of Sir Viv Richards and that was very special to me. He congratulated me and it can’t get any better than that”.
However, the former Team India skipper, Sourav Ganguly shared his views on whether there is a future for Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game after getting snubbed from the T20I series against the West Indies. In an exclusive chat with RevSportz, Ganguly said: “Pick your best players, it doesn’t matter who they are. In my opinion, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still have a place in T20I cricket and I cannot see why a Kohli or a Rohit cannot play T20I cricket. Kohli was in great form in the IPL, and both have place in T20 cricket, if you ask me.”
