Virat Kohli, despite 11 dismissals by Adil Rashid and 8 by Kagiso Rabada, remains a dominant force with 473 runs against Rashid and 1,327 in ODIs, retiring from Tests in May 2025.

England spinner Adil Rashid said on the 'Beard Before Wicket' podcast that Indian legend Virat Kohli is not his 'bunny' despite 11 dismissals across formats, noting Kohli scored 473 runs against him at 43.00 with 38 fours and four sixes. Rashid emphasized the challenge of consistently dismissing top batters. South African pacer Kagiso Rabada echoed this, calling Kohli 'extremely stingy' with his wicket, having been dismissed only eight times in 38 innings against him. Kohli retired from Test cricket in May 2025 after 123 matches, scoring 9,230 runs with 30 centuries and leading India to 40 Test wins. He remains dominant in ODIs, with 1,327 runs in 29 matches at 51.03, including five centuries, and helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru win their first IPL title with 657 runs in 15 matches. Across all international cricket, Kohli has 27,599 runs, 82 centuries, and 143 fifties.
