As the cricketing world gears up for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli, India’s batting maestro, has shed light on his retirement plans. Speaking at the RCB’s Royal Gala Dinner, Kohli shared his thoughts on what lies ahead once he hangs up his boots.
Reflecting on the inevitable end of his illustrious career, Kohli said, “As a sportsman, we do have an end-date to our careers. So I am just working backwards. I don’t want to finish my career thinking ‘Oh, what if I had done this on that particular day’ because I can’t keep going on and on forever.”
Kohli emphasized the importance of leaving the field with no regrets. “It’s just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I am sure I won’t.”
Looking ahead to his post-cricket life, Kohli revealed plans to take a significant break to spend quality time with his family.
“Once I am done, I will be gone, you won’t see me for a while. So, I want to give it everything I have till the time I play, and that’s the only thing that keeps me going,” he concluded.
Virat Kohli has been a cornerstone of Indian cricket since his debut in 2008 against Sri Lanka in Dambulla.
He is undoubtedly the greatest batter of this generation. His impressive career stats include 113 Tests, 292 ODIs, and 117 T20Is. He has scored 8,848 runs in Test cricket, 13,848 in ODIs, and 4,037 in T20Is, with a remarkable total of 80 centuries across all formats.
As the cricketing legend prepares for the T20 World Cup, fans and experts alike will be keenly watching to see how Kohli continues to shape his legacy on and off the field.
