As we continue to wonder about Virat Kohli’s path beyond his cricket career, the renowned Indian cricketer himself admits to being a bit uncertain about what his future might hold. Kohli has shared that he’s yet to chalk out any plans for the days following his retirement from the sport.
While many cricketers find a second life in commentary, coaching, or franchise management, Kohli, the former captain of India, hasn’t fixed his mind on a particular direction. However, he does envision spending a significant amount of time with his family. In a candid moment, Kohli mentioned that he discussed this very topic with a teammate, only to find they, too, were unsure about their plans post-retirement.
During an RCB event in Bengaluru, Kohli dropped a hint about his future, suggesting that indulging his wanderlust might play a huge role. Traveling the world sounds like an idea that excites him, especially as he considers life after cricket.
The buzz around cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympics has taken the sporting world by storm, creating a fresh wave of excitement. Kohli sees this as a golden chance for the Indian team to etch their name in history at the Los Angeles Olympics. It is indeed significant, as cricket returns to the Olympic stage after more than a century.
In another intriguing revelation, Kohli hinted at the possibility of coming out of his T20I retirement for a single match if India makes it to the finals of the 2028 Olympics men’s cricket event. Having retired from T20I cricket after bagging the T20 World Cup last year, the idea of clinching an Olympic medal holds a unique appeal for him.
Meanwhile, Kohli also expressed his excitement about the growing prominence of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in India. He firmly believes that for India to evolve into a true sporting nation, the spotlight cannot remain solely on men’s sports. The WPL, quickly gaining traction, is transforming the landscape of women’s cricket by bringing in talent, opportunities, and recognition. With five teams currently battling it out in the league, the WPL’s influence continues to expand, leading to its anticipated future growth.
As the current WPL 2025 gears up for its final showdown between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians on March 15 in Mumbai, Kohli underscores the league’s potential, noting that its success is vital for the broader growth of sports in the country.
