Virat Kohli

Whether it’s their powerful professional careers, their family moments, or their cute moments in the stadium, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are no strangers to the news. The two stole the show last week with their endearing interactions following Team India’s spectacular victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Virat has now captured the public’s interest once more, but this time it’s because of his open admissions regarding retirement and life beyond cricket.

The 2025 Indian Premier League will begin in just a few days. Virat Kohli, the star cricket player, spoke openly about his post-retirement plans at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Innovation Lab prior to the highly anticipated game. Speaking on Team India’s recent spectacular victories, Virat revealed: “Well, it has been amazing. We wanted to bounce back after a tough Australian tour. Lovely feeling to play with such a talented group. We are here to help. There is so much talent in the change room. We just try to make an impact whenever we get a chance. After such a long career. You look forward to situations where you are put under pressure. To win titles, something that was missing in the past, the whole team has to step up. If you see through the course of the last 5 matches, everyone has stepped up at different situations.”

 

When asked about his future goals, Virat said he made peace with his previous on-field accomplishments and that he might not get the opportunity to play in another Australia tour. Later in the conversation, the 36-year-old cricket player said that he could travel extensively but did not yet have a plan for what he would do once he retired from the game. He was cited as saying:

“I am at peace with whatever transpired in the past, and I may not have the energy to travel Australia again. Since I recently asked a teammate the same question and received the same response, I truly have no idea what I will be doing after I retire. Yes, but perhaps a great deal of travel.

Virat Kohli:

There was a lot of conjecture around the possible retirements of stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Virat Kohli following India’s Champions Trophy 2025 victory, which marked their second consecutive ICC trophy. Virat made it apparent that he was not hurrying to make a decision when he answered the question directly. For their significant performances, he commended the players of the next generation, including Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul. Kohli stated:

“You want to be in a better position when you depart. Rahul, Gill, and Shreyas have all performed admirably, and there have been some powerful knocks. The group is under capable leadership.
