Virat Kohli speaks on his retirement

Kohli is 35 years old but still one of the fittest athletes going around in the cricketing world. But the talks about his retirement has already started. This practice is quite common, especially in Indian cricket. Players like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni were asked about their retirement frequently during the 4-5 years of their respective careers.

"As sportsmen, we do have an end date to our careers. I'm just working backwards," Kohli said.

"I don't want to finish my career thinking of what if I had done this on that particular day. I can't keep going on and on forever. It's just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I'm very sure I won't have," he said with a smile.

Kohli further added that he wants to give everything that he has in his remaining years.

"Once I'm done, I'll be gone. You won't see me for a while, so I wanna give everything I have till the time I play, and that's the only thing that keeps me going," Kohli promised to his fans,.leaving them emotional.
