Virat Kohli has firmly dismissed recent retirement speculations, asserting his continued passion for cricket. Speaking at the RCB Innovation Lab, Kohli addressed fans directly: "Don't get nervous. I'm not making any announcements. As of now, everything is fine. I still love playing the game." Emphasizing his commitment, Kohli mentioned he plays for the "pure joy" of the sport and aims to leave no "unfinished business" before retiring. He acknowledged the challenges of maintaining peak performance with age but remains driven by his competitive spirit. Reflecting on his career trajectory, Kohli noted, "Once I'm done, I will be gone, you won't see me for a while." Kohli's statements come amid a backdrop of significant transitions in Indian cricket, notably the recent retirement of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin's unexpected departure has intensified discussions about the future of senior players. However, Kohli's reaffirmation of his dedication provides clarity and assurance to fans and the cricketing community.
