Virat Kohli says, Once I’m done, you won’t see me for a while
In IPL 2024, Virat has already smashed an eighth century, and he continues to lead the scoring charts with a mind-boggling 661 runs from 13 matches for RCB.
Virat is well aware that he ‘can’t keep going forever’ and wants to give everything he has to his cricket career because once he is done, he says he will be ‘gone’ and won’t be seen ‘for a while.’
In a video posted by RCB, the 35-year-old said the desire to live a regret-free life keeps him going. “So, it’s just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I’m very sure I won’t. Once I’m done, I’ll be gone; you won’t see me for a while.
When asked about what keeps him hungry, he said, “I want to give it everything I have till the time I play, and that’s the only thing that keeps me going.”
Kohli was picked by RCB soon after he led India to a title triumph in the 2008 Under-19 World Cup, and he has continued to be with the franchise ever since.
He added, “I think, as sportsmen, we do have an end date for our careers. So, I’m just working backwards. I don’t want to finish my career thinking, What if I had done this on that particular day because I can’t keep going on and on forever?”
