When asked about his post-retirement plans, Virat Kohli said he might take a vacation from the game before considering his options. The renowned cricket player became one of the most respected and significant athletes of this generation after making his debut on the international scene in 2008.
Currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the former captain of India is having a tremendous season at bat. With 661 runs at an average of 66.10 and a strike rate of 155.16 from 13 games, he is the top run scorer. Even at 35 years old, Virat Kohli is one of the world’s fittest cricket players. His devoted followers, though, are constantly worried about the day the Delhi hitter may retire. In addition to sharing his retirement plans, the legendary cricket player recently disclosed what motivates him at this point in his remarkable career.
It’s very easy. I believe that athletes have a set amount of time for their careers to terminate. I’m only going backwards from here. I can’t keep going on and on forever, so I don’t want to end my career wondering, “Oh, what if I had done this on that particular day.” Thus, it’s simply about not leaving any unfinished business behind and not having any regrets, which I’m confident I won’t have,” Virat Kohli stated prior to the RCB’s pivotal IPL match against CSK at the Royal Gala Dinner in Bengaluru.
“I’ll be gone as soon as I’m finished, so you won’t see me for a while (smiles). That’s the only thing that keeps me going, so I want to give it everything I’ve got till I play,” he continued.
