India's cricket sensation, Virat Kohli, known for his impeccable batting prowess and leadership skills, has given a glimpse into his future plans in a recent heartfelt interview. The 35-year-old cricket maestro, who has been a linchpin for the Indian cricket team for over a decade, shared his insights during a gala dinner hosted by his IPL team, the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
With an illustrious career spanning since his international debut in 2008, Kohli has left an indelible mark on the cricketing world, featuring in 113 Tests, 292 ODIs, and 117 T20Is. Despite his incredible achievements, Kohli remains focused on his journey ahead, acknowledging the finite nature of a sportsman's career.
"It's quite simple," Kohli expressed. "As a sportsman, we have an end-date to our careers. So, I am just working backwards. I don't want to finish my career with any regrets, thinking 'what if I had done this on that particular day'."
Kohli's commitment to leaving no stone unturned reflects in his relentless pursuit of excellence, evident from his stellar performance in the ongoing IPL season. Leading the run charts with 661 runs in 13 innings at an astonishing average of 66.10, Kohli's form continues to dazzle fans and pundits alike.
While contemplating life beyond cricket, Kohli hinted at the possibility of taking a hiatus post-retirement. "Once I am done, I will be gone, you won't see me for a while," he quipped, with a smile. His dedication to giving his all until the very end underscores his unwavering passion for the sport.
As Kohli gears up for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 in West Indies and USA, anticipation brews around his potential to further solidify his legacy. Holding the record for the most runs in the history of Men's T20 World Cups, with 1141 runs under his belt, Kohli's insatiable hunger for success could see him scale greater heights in the tournament.
With his sights set on leaving behind a legacy devoid of regrets, Virat Kohli's journey continues to inspire generations, both on and off the field. As he prepares to script yet another chapter in his storied career, cricket enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await the spectacle that unfolds when Kohli graces the field.
