What Virat Kohli Said To BCCI After Discussion On Retirement?

The England tour has been one of the most important tours in Indian cricket history, where either players break or make, but if you are talking about Virat Kohli, then everyone needs to think twice before they say anything negative about him.

Cricket is a game that makes any player realize that he is a human, even when players like Virat have repeatedly shown their inhuman performances, which have continued for many years. Every player has their ups and downs.

Virat Kohli talked with the BCCI about his retirement, which comes just before the England tour, which starts on June 20. Rohit Sharma has already announced his retirement after the board did not consider him for the opening slot of test cricket.

The BCCI requested Kohli to stay until the England tour ends because the team needs him as the main player who can guide the young generation of players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan. He also helped the likely captain Shubman Gill in decision-making, which is one of the most important things in test cricket because it is the longest form of cricket that needs a team to look at every minute aspect of the game.

What is Virat Kohli’s decision after talking with the BCCI?

Everyone wants Kohli to stay in the team because, after Rohit Sharma’s retirement, not many very experienced players have captained the Indian cricket team for more than 10+ matches, which is why he became so crucial for the team.

It is very likely that Kohli will pack his bags for the fourth tour of his cricketing life in England, and it can also be easy for him because he will not miss much of India. It is said that he will settle in England after retirement and has already built a huge mansion in London, which they bought before their second child, Akaay, was born.

Former England Captain Michael Vaughan wants Kohli to captain India as he has the best record in tests for India. Under him, India stayed in the number one spot for a long time, and in the SENA countries, they thrived.

If I was India I would give the captaincy to Virat for the Test series in England .. Shubman Gill can be his VC for the tour .. #India 👍
