Virat Kohli spills the beans on post-retirement plans

Once-in-a-generation cricketer Virat Kohli has been serving India in international cricket since 2008, and has achieved numerous accolades to his name in the illustrious career he has had so far. He has over 25,000 runs in international cricket and more than 8,000 runs in the Indian Premier League (IPL), playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

With the 36-year-old reaching the twilight of his career, he has spilled the beans on what he plans to do after hanging his boots from the sport.

"I actually don't know what I will be doing post-retirement. Recently, I asked a teammate the same question and got the same reply. Yeah, but maybe a lot of travelling," Kohli said during an interaction at the RCB Innovation Lab's Indian Sports Summit in Bengaluru.

It is no surprise that Kohli has prolonged his cricketing career with the fitness he has kept over the years. He was the flag-bearer of giving importance to fitness in the Indian team. His acrobatic abilities on the field, be it taking quick singles between the wickets, or running in the outfield to save important runs for the team, Kohli hasn't let physical challenges that come with age as an excuse to his abilities.

"You can do a lot of things in your thirties which you can do in your twenties," the Delhi-born said further.
