Virat Kohli talks about retirement: Virat Kohli, the 35-year-old Indian cricket icon, could soon decide to hang up his boots. Speculation is rife among cricket fans and analysts that ''King Kohli' might bid farewell to limited-overs cricket post the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in June, so that he could focus on extending his Test career and spend more time with his family.
Despite Virat Kohli's remarkable fitness and potential to extend his Test career, there will inevitably come a moment when one of cricket's greatest batsmen will have to bid farewell to the sport. While Kohli has typically avoided talking about retirement, he recently made a significant remark, sparking speculation about the eventual end of his remarkable career.
"It’s very simple. I think as a sportsman, we do have an end date to our careers. So I am just going backwards. I don't want to finish my career thinking: ‘Oh what if I have done this on that particular day’ because I can’t keep going one and on forever. So It’s just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I am very sure of I won’t. Once I am done, I will be gone, you won’t see me for a while. So I want to give my everything till the time I play and that’s the only thing that keeps me going," said Virat Kohli in a video posted by RCB.
