Virat Kohli reveals what motivates him to deliver his best, touches upon his retirement

At the RCB's royal gala dinner, Virat Kohli was asked what has been the driving force to be one of the most brilliant sportspersons in the game. As promising as his words were, he also touched upon something that was an emotional topic, which was his retirement. Virat affirmed that he wants to deliver his best to have no space for regrets once he rides off to the sunset, which will open opportunities for him after his stellar cricket career. 

“It’s very simple. I think as a sportsman, we do have an end date to our careers. So I am just going backwards. I don't want to finish my career thinking: ‘Oh what if I had done this on that particular day’ because I can’t keep going on and on forever. So It’s just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I am very sure of I won’t.

Once I am done, I will be gone, you won’t see me for a while. So I want to give my everything till the time I play and that’s the only thing that keeps me going,” Virat Kohli said.
