'I think that may take him away from cricket' - Michael Vaughan's bold statement on Virat Kohli's retirement

India's former skipper Virat Kohli is always under criticism and controversies no matter how much he tries to be away from them. Sometimes it's about his battle, while sometimes it's about his strike rates. However, every time he has shut his critics down with his unbelievable performance in the tournaments. Former English batter Michael Vaughan thinks that whenever Kohli is extremely fit enough to play for some more time rather than retiring now. Nevertheless, if something can keep him away from cricket is going to be the normal life he loves to lead. 

"During his time away from the India vs England Test series, I believe he went to London and led a normal life. I've read a few of his comments and quotes and he just absolutely adored that normal life. I think that may take Virat away from cricket like he just wants to go and have a quiet time for a while," said Michael Vaughan. 

In this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Kohli scored 741 runs at over 155 SR and has smashed the spinner all along the way. He's the leading run-scorer of the tournament and has played some quality cricket throughout the two months. His hard work and patience become evident when he plays in tournaments like these. 

'Once I'm done, I'll be gone' - Virat Kohli on his retirement 

Recently in an interview, Virat Kohli shared his views on his retirement plans which quite aligned with what Michael Vaughan said. Kohli, who has had an impressive career throughout his life, is playing cricket until he's enjoying the game and once he's done with that, he'll leave everything and go away. 

"Once I'm done, I'll be gone. You won't see me for a while, so I wanna give everything I have till the time I play, and that's the only thing that keeps me going," said Virat Kohli in an interview.
