Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli put a break on retirement speculation, said – maybe 4 years later … – Virat Kohli Breaks Silence on his retirement rumors after champions trophy Win India Tour of Australia Kohli Tspoa

The Indian team led by Rohit Sharma recently won the Champions Trophy 2025. Star batsman Virat Kohli played an important role in India’s Champions Trophy win for the third time. Kohli played a century against Pakistan, while King Kohli performed unmatched with the bat in the semi -finals against Australia.

King Kohli made a statement on retirement

Before the Champions Trophy, Virat Kohli’s form was being questioned as his performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Australia’s tour was nothing special. Now Kohli has given a befitting reply to critics by performing brilliantly in the Champions Trophy. Kohli has also clarified that he is not currently thinking about retirement and enjoying the game. The competitive spirit inside them is completely intact. Captain Rohit Sharma also dismissed the discussions of retirement about Kohli after the Champions Trophy win.

Virat Kohli admitted that he once discussed the appropriate time for his retirement with Rahul Dravid, which reflects a planned approach for the final phase of his career. Dravid had just advised Kohli to find out where he is present in his life. Kohli has indicated that the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-2025 was his last tour of Australia and he could hardly visit Australia after 4 years.

Virat Kohli said during the Indian Sports Summit ‘RCB Innovation Lab’, ‘The recent tour of Australia was very disappointing for me. Maybe after four years, I will not be able to visit Australia again. I do not have a chance to fix it. Therefore, whatever has happened to you in your life, you have to accept it. I equally calculated the 2014 tour of England in 2018 because it was a chance to do it.

‘When you think about disappointment …’

Virat Kohli says- When you start thinking about disappointment from outside, you start putting more burden on yourself. This is something that I have also experienced in Australia because I made a good score in the first Test. I thought let’s go. There is going to be another big series for me. But this did not happen.

Virat Kohli said, ‘Don’t panic. I am not making any announcement. Everything is fine yet. I still like to play. It depends largely on bliss, competitive spirit and love for sports. As long as it is, I will continue to play. As I said today, I am not playing for any achievement.

He said, ‘You know that the competitive spirit does not let you find the answer to the question of retirement. I had a very interesting conversation with Rahul Dravid about this. He told me that you should find out where you are in your life and the answer is not so easy. Maybe you are going through a bad phase and you feel that this is just this. But it may not happen. But whenever the time comes, my competitive spirit will not allow me to accept it.

36 -year -old Virat Kohli further said, ‘Probably another month. Probably six more months. So I think this is a good balance. I feel very happy in this time of my life. I want to keep my energy in the right place. Now it requires a lot of effort and those who have played for a long time, they understand it. You cannot do so much work after the age of 30 as you can do at the age of 20. I am also at a different place in my life. I think this is natural progress. I am confident that young players will also reach this point. But now I feel very calm with the energy inside me.
