Kohli shed light on his post-retirement plans during a recent statement at RCB’s Royal Gala Dinner recently.
“I think as a sportsman, we do have an end-date to our careers. So I am just working backward. I don’t want to finish my career thinking ‘Oh, what if I have done this on that particular day’ because I can’t keep going on and on forever,” the former captain said.
“So, it’s just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I am sure I won’t.”
The star batter also hinted at taking a break before embarking on a new chapter of his life.
“Once I am done, I will be gone, you won’t see me for a while. So, I want to give it everything I have till the time I play, and that’s the only thing that keeps me going,” he concluded.
