Virat kohli reaction on retirement: Indian star batsman Virat Kohli has given a big indication about the future of his international cricket, saying that perhaps he may not get a chance to go on Australian tour, but he has definitely made it clear that he is not yet retiring. Let me tell you, after winning the title of India’s ICC Champions Trophy, there was speculation about the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But both of them have made it clear that they are not going anywhere.
The Indian team went on a tour of Australian at the end of last year, where Team India lost 1-4 in the five-Test series. This tour remained like a nightmare for Virat Kohli, because Kohli continued to be out in the same way in this whole series. Kohli’s bat had a century on this tour, but after that he flopped badly.
Virat kept throwing his wicket while chasing the balls going out of Scott Bolland, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. The former Indian captain scored 190 runs in 9 innings. Australia has been a place where Virat Kohli has performed tremendously. In the Adelaide Test in 2014, he scored a century in both innings, it is one of his memorable innings for fans. But the tour of 2024-25 was completely different. At the same time, Kohli has spoken about this tour.
‘Probably did not get a chance again’
Speaking at RCB Innovation Labs on Saturday, Virat Kohli said that whatever happened during his possible last down under tour, he has peace. Kohli said, “If you ask me how disappointed I am … then the most recent tour of Australia will be the most fresh. So, it may seem to be the most interesting to me. But I can’t see it in this way. Maybe I may not get a chance to tour Australia in the next four years.”
Kohli further said, “I do not have a chance to improve it. So you have to make peace with what has happened in your life. Like 2014 (against England) I still had the opportunity to go and do what I did. I could not have happened.”
Not taking retirement yet
Virat Kohli clearly stated on Saturday that he is not thinking about retirement at the moment because he is enjoying the game and the spiritual spirit in him is completely intact. Kohli said, “Don’t panic. I am not making any announcement. Everything is fine yet. I still like to play.”
Kohli said that he does not have the desire to achieve achievements but he is playing to enjoy cricket completely. He said, “Playing for me is now completely bliss, competitive spirit and love for sports. And as long as it is, I will continue to play. As I said today I am not playing for any achievement.”
Kohli said that due to the ‘competitive spirit’ it becomes difficult for the player to find the right time to move away from the game. He said, “You know that the competitive spirit does not let you find an answer to the question of retirement. I had a very interesting conversation with Rahul Dravid.”
But Kohli admitted that increasing age has made the entire process of being on top of the game a little more difficult. He said, “I want to keep my energy in the right place. Now it needs a lot of effort and people who have played for a long time, they understand it. You cannot do so many things after the age of 30, as you can do at the age of 20. I am also at a different place in my life.”
This 36 -year -old player said, “I think this is a natural progress. I am confident that all these young players will also reach this point. But now I feel very calm with the energy inside me.”
