There’s nothing that hits quite as much as seeing our favourite stars retire. Indian Football captain Sunil Chhetri announced his retirement on Thursday, and it hit home. Today, a snippet of Virat Kohli hinting at his post-retirement plans is viral and fans are sobbing already.
I don’t think there’s anything that will ready Indian cricket fans for the day Kohli retires. His absence from big matches is an anomaly we never wanna sign up for.
The aggression he brought to the field, the fitness icon he became for his fans, the hold he has on the stadium audience, and the reassuring confidence his presence exudes remain unmatchable. It’s not people talking in air when they hail Kohli as among the best sportsmen in the world.
Recently, at the RCB’s Royal Gala Dinner, the interviewer asked Kohli, what keeps him going and evolving, to which Indian’s former cricket captain revealed he does not want to have any regrets.
The snippet hasn’t gone down very well with the fans because you can’t imagine seeing big cricket games without Kohli and his contagious energy in it.
The lines "once I'm done, I'll be gone, you'll not see me for a while" Is enough to make a grown a$$ crypic.twitter.com/Ctmz2jx7ur https://t.co/LYBm64HaJT

The way he said “ You won't see me " I know we won't be able to see him after his retirement…I don't know what will happen, I'm scared just thinking about it. https://t.co/Ik1FVxs8xR

I remember how I use to check the media for notepad information from him with bounding heartbeat and tears.

After that worst phase where he said he was about to quit cricket I feel fearful everytime when he speaks 🥺. That's my connection with him & I can't imagine anything. https://t.co/fucvKwQg9a
Don’t want to know of cricket universe without Kohli. Nothing can prepare us for that.
