Virat Kohli Opens Up on Retirement, Social Media, and On-Field Aggression at RCB Event

Virat Kohli recently participated in an event organized by RCB Management, where he was the guest of honor. After the official proceedings concluded, he faced a series of questions from interviewers, covering topics that fans had long been curious about. Here’s a compilation of highlights from Virat Kohli’s Q&A session at the RCB event.

When asked if he plans to retire anytime soon, Kohli addressed the retirement rumors circulating after India's Champions Trophy triumph. He stated,

"Don't get nervous. I'm not making any announcements. I still love playing this game."

Regarding the possibility of another tour to Australia, particularly in light of India’s 3-1 loss in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli expressed a sense of peace with the past, saying,

"I might not have another Australia tour in me, so I am at peace with whatever happened."

Kohli has been less active on social media, especially after his team’s championship win. While he was previously an avid user with the highest following in India, he noted that his Instagram has been filled with advertisements for the past two years. When questioned about this change, he responded,

"Posting about us winning the championship is not going to increase the happiness in my heart, nor will it give us two trophies." His straightforward answer made things clear for his fans.

When asked about his plans after retirement, the cricketer who has dedicated over two and a half decades to the sport admitted uncertainty about his future. However, he did mention,

"I actually don't know what I will be doing post-retirement. Recently, I asked a teammate the same question, and he gave me a similar reply. But yes, there may be a lot of traveling."

Finally, Kohli addressed his on-field aggression and its impact on opponents. He remarked on the duality of perception regarding his demeanour, stating,

"My aggression was a problem for some people; now my calmness is also a problem. I don't know what to do."

Arriving in Bengaluru two days prior, Virat Kohli took the time to engage with fans during the meeting, which was both enjoyable and informative, providing fans with direct answers from the man himself.
