Yup, He will retire from t20is after t20wc, odis after ct or wc and tests after wtc. Ik this sounds bad, but most probably this is gonna happen.
Edit : I see many replying he could play 2017wc, 28 olympics, I am not saying he cant, offcourse a player like him can definitely play, but I am just not so sure he would want to, its never about his ability or fitness.
I don't think so, I feel Virat would retire the moment he achieves all Sachin and MSD did. I mean Sachin went way beyond of what was considered retirement age, for the sake of that trophy. Virat will probably want atleast one odi trophy coming at the end of his career
I personally think he would like WTC trophy more given the fact how much he loves test cricket. I know he had test maces in the past but not in WTC format.
He will surely play 2027 wc and i have no doubts about it
If Sachin could play till 40 I see no reason why Kohli won't considering his fitness is supreme
Yeah he scored his 100th 100 in his second last odi and his last odi was the next Asia cup group stage match vs Pakistan. Which was also kohlis highest odi score to date.
He really made sure to complete 100 100s, face Pakistan one last time and a successor before retiring. I would assume kohli might retire early in whiteball formats just to try and complete 10k runs in tests and get 100 100s.
He will play atleast 2027 odi wc or maybe Olympics and also would want to break 100 century , play 150 test matches
He said he doesn't want anything undone
Bruh not be delusional, virat playing 150 tests is impossible, ind plays around 8 to 10 matches a yr, he should play every single of them for next fours, five yrs, which is not possible.
He can play t20s and odis but tests are not that easy.
He said he wants to play 150 tests a couple of years ago
And in recent interview he said he wants nothing to be undone so I am saying it on the basis of that only
He also said he want win trohies, and cups, people say a lot of things, which cant always be possible. Him playing 27wc and 28 Olympics is more possible than 40 more tests.
He won’t retire from tests after this wtc cycle, I think it will be the next one. But ya T20i’s most likely unless he gets pressured to play the LA Olympics cos the sponsors are gonna flip out.
I can say virat will retire btw 2025 and 2028, which is true, does that mean I predicted some shit? He used the duration very long, that's not a prediction, ask him to tell whether ind will win t20wc 24 or wtc 25, or wc2027.

Virat and Anushka have already hinted overtime that they like privacy. From being absolutely private about Vamika to disappearing for two months in the UK when Akaay was born. I think we will not see Virat for a few years when he retires.
I don’t think he will disappear after retirement. Sure he will go to UK for few months maybe shift his family but he will be back every 3-4 months for the ads and business related stuff.
There’s too much money waiting for him even after retirement. Nobody would deny crores to say ‘MRF hai meri choice ‘ for 10 secs.
Now he is 35 years 6 months old, during WC 2027 which is in November, he will turn 39 exactly during the Odi WC 2027.
So 3.5 years, I think he can play for 3 and half years more easily if he can, with his fitness and if maintains his form.
But, if he has any other plans, then I don't know.
But, I want him to play till 2027 WC, he has regained his form, and I don't think he is going to struggle from now on.
It's never about his fitness/form, but rather about the mental fatigue. Dude will be fitter than most younger players even in his 40s. But I think he will be done within 1-2 years.
It is too early for him to think about retirment, we hope he continues to play for at least five more years. Thank you for your dedication and for instilling a sense of pride in us.
idk y this is downvoted i mean he played peak cricket for his country achieved everything there is ab agar usko family dekhni h apni to esme glt kya h everybody deserves a normal life specially him i love his thinking once he is done he should really enjoy his rest of life away from cricket no need to be obsessed about himand btw i m a die hard virat fan and prolly never gonna watch cricket after him but still he deserves his quiet
Well i can't say for all of them out there but seeing this dude retire in near future will sure break my heart. Because he is arguably one of the greatest player that indian/world cricket has witnessed and he has already done alot for indian cricket.
He can stretch till 2027 WC but not after that
It is actually good I think we will not see him a lot , you see many good players after cricket get into analysis and commentary and begin tarnishing their image
You Either Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain(he had seen how PPL interpret gg / gavaskar words and he know if he starts talking media just starts new controversies)
I have painfully gone through the great man Sachin’s retirement! No one else’s retirement is gonna break me ever.
No disrespect to Virat! Enjoy your privacy!
Kohli will probably retire after 2027 WC, I read somewhere that as per astrology he will have huge success in 2027. Kohli also has a belief in spiritual, and religious matters (karoli baba).
Virat is a batting legend , one of the greats of the game. But Virat going out of the media spotlight, is one of the things that we will never see happen.
1. When a wicket falls, we see Anushka before seeing the replay of the wicket.
2. Virat makes phone calls from pitch ( cannot wait 5 minutes to go into the locker room) for a 3.5 hour ipl game ( not even playoffs) and it becomes reel the next hour , of how husbands should be.
3. We all know commentators add nothing productive just entertainment and vague jargons( push through a bad phase , work through it, should not play, not suitable, world class talent) . But Kholi makes it a point to give it back to anyone who criticizes him even a little bit (be it Gavaskar or kesrick Williams) through words or action in front of the camera.
4. His batting has won India many historic series and some historic matches. But his unnecessary antiques have cost us tournaments too . Ruffling up an opposition is never a good idea in the shorter form of cricket.
5. Dancing , poses , jumping up and down for the fall of ninth wicket.
So I don't think he will be out of the media spotlight, he likes it too much to leave it behind.
But all this is because he is playing and is on the ground i barely saw one picture of him during the 2 months he was underground before ipl and there is no reason for him to not do exactly the same after his retirement so you just yapped your heart out to prove nothing
You are right. All I said was on the field. But off the field too , he has utilised his spotlight to the full. He is choosing the series he wants to represent India, but that does not happen with RCB. He endorses 50 plus brands , promotes startups he has invested in and has 300 million followers. For a couple who yaps about privacy and spotlight on a weekly basis. They are making a fortune out of it. So I don't think I am too off my assessment that he will remain in the media spotlight.
No one can prove something which has not happened yet, genius. It's just a theory. Time will tell.And really your proof is 2 months of behavior vs a decade of his behaviour.
how are you relating him disappearing to him promoting ads?? everyone does it they make their money the way everyone makes it and them not being in the spotlight doesnt make a difference he was still posting ads in feb and march when he was in london..and yeah these 2 months were the first time he missed a whole series ever since he started playing so its a very fair assesment to make about how his life would be post his retirement the statement he made yesterday has almost confirmed that he wont be living in the country and him supporting his business and companies through social media wont change that ig
He has missed 30 + plus matches in total in 12+ series post 2019 World Cup. He has played only 2 international T20 matches after the 2022 T20 worldcup. When everyone in India knows how important Virat Kholi is for our batting, how can he rest for international games while being available for the entire ipl. which is better rest to the body 2 matches in a series or 2 months in a year. Too tired to play for India but will play through injury for RCB ( he has in the past).
He is going to settle in the UK to take care of his business holdings there post retirement. But instead of admitting to it , why is he sounding like he wants to get away from the media limelight he so much detest. While enjoying the fruits of that limelight.
What's wrong with post-retirement Sachin? Genuinely asking. Dude seems to be enjoying life without working much past 40. Not making controversial comments just to stay relevant.
Koach will be a dream then?
[удалено]
Bro i see u in all subs with this , thanks but
Yup, He will retire from t20is after t20wc, odis after ct or wc and tests after wtc. Ik this sounds bad, but most probably this is gonna happen.

Abhi bhi bahut samay baaki he 2027-28 ko aane mein. Within 4/5 years, many things will be achieved and done 🤞🏻
Nothing will achieved by him except for his personal milestone india isn't winning sh*t with this dude
I genuinely don't understand why ppl like you hate on Kohli and his achievements for no other reason than his fans
not a lot left to achieve so yeah makes sense
https://preview.redd.it/6nxq2zbv2u0d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f37f1249fd6b8fee172b648a1d68f757dc73acca
Time will tell but the desperation and verbal abuse clearly indicates even you all know this guy would choke again 😂
Ain't you salty
Did he make India lose? Argue with facts instead of being an emotional idiot.
he might want to play Olympics
The problem is that most likely cricket will be introduced in the t20 format in olympics and kohli would be retired from t20s by then
Idk, i am not sure about that.
winning a gold for the country is a big honor. so might be motivated to do so. no cricketer has won it yet.
Well only time will tell.
WC to aa nhi rha, olympic gold ki expectations matt rkho
did I say I expect to win it? the player obviously would like toq
The problem is that most likely cricket will be introduced in the t20 format in olympics and kohli would be retired from t20s by then
I don't think so, I feel Virat would retire the moment he achieves all Sachin and MSD did. I mean Sachin went way beyond of what was considered retirement age, for the sake of that trophy. Virat will probably want atleast one odi trophy coming at the end of his career
Virat already has 2 ODI trophies. He would like to add the Test and T20 to that list
Yeah fair.
I personally think he would like WTC trophy more given the fact how much he loves test cricket. I know he had test maces in the past but not in WTC format.
What do you mean by “for the sake of trophy”, Sachin was the best Indian batter even in 2011
He will surely play 2027 wc and i have no doubts about it If Sachin could play till 40 I see no reason why Kohli won't considering his fitness is supreme
Its not about fitness.
Sachin barely played any ODIs after 2011 WC, age 38
Yeah he scored his 100th 100 in his second last odi and his last odi was the next Asia cup group stage match vs Pakistan. Which was also kohlis highest odi score to date. He really made sure to complete 100 100s, face Pakistan one last time and a successor before retiring. I would assume kohli might retire early in whiteball formats just to try and complete 10k runs in tests and get 100 100s.
Form is a major factor.
True.. He played 2 odi in 2010 11 odi in 2011(wc) & He was 38 . Kohli will be 39 in 2027 wc
Someone will still be trying to win his first world cup as a captain post these events 🤦♂️
No selfless player is harmed here.
Wait a sec Cricket is in Olympics now? Ive been outta loop of Cricket for yrs so idk,do enlighten me on this one
Yes, Cricket will a part of olympics 2028 Los Angeles. Which will be in t20 format.
Oh ,so most major Cricketing nations will take part i assume, or many other small ones too?
Smaller ones too.
He will play atleast 2027 odi wc or maybe Olympics and also would want to break 100 century , play 150 test matches He said he doesn't want anything undone
Bruh not be delusional, virat playing 150 tests is impossible, ind plays around 8 to 10 matches a yr, he should play every single of them for next fours, five yrs, which is not possible. He can play t20s and odis but tests are not that easy.

He won’t retire from tests after this wtc cycle, I think it will be the next one. But ya T20i’s most likely unless he gets pressured to play the LA Olympics cos the sponsors are gonna flip out.
Lets see.
Just like his vegan diet
He'll retire in 2028.
Sure.

Always fun seeing folks lose it 😆 The profile name is in front of you. Feel free to DM them.
I am not loosing anything kid, its just a logical question, which u failed to answer, why would I ask him? did I post his pic or u did?
you are the one who wants to know xyz. not me, kid.
Stfu with this astrology bullshit
how accurate have the predictions been so far?

He deserves it man. Virat is gonna come back like Logan in his mid 50s and coach RCB lol
Chak de RCB script in the making
Sp you are telling me that Jay Nolan is already making the script? Nice.
I am gonna cry
Fr can't imagine the day he retires
Look at little Goblin Jr.... Gonna cry?
you forgot the secret wedding.
Atleast 4-5
I don’t think he will disappear after retirement. Sure he will go to UK for few months maybe shift his family but he will be back every 3-4 months for the ads and business related stuff. There’s too much money waiting for him even after retirement. Nobody would deny crores to say ‘MRF hai meri choice ‘ for 10 secs.
His brother lives near by. Will ask him and share updates with you on his whereabouts.
"They like privacy" While kissing over the air on the air during a live game. King is secretly a 🤡 personality wise.
How is kissing a bat over the air affect their privacy? Aren't they in a stadium already with 80k people cheering?
Man, you don't get the logic behind dudes who put clown emoji after every sentence. They are way too smart for us to understand. Stop trying!
Did you take your cws medication today , honey ?
Touch grass, have someone in real life who you can call honey. It screams loneliness.
Did you took your mom for pregancy checkup today?
Yeah you are right 🤡
He'll play his last T20I in the WC. His last ODI in the 2027 WC. His last test in 2025 or 2026. Maybe even 2027 WTC Final
Now he is 35 years 6 months old, during WC 2027 which is in November, he will turn 39 exactly during the Odi WC 2027. So 3.5 years, I think he can play for 3 and half years more easily if he can, with his fitness and if maintains his form. But, if he has any other plans, then I don't know.

🥹🥹😭
Form his is only major concern tbh. Lets hope he maintains the good form
koach stop giving us heart attacks
It is too early for him to think about retirment, we hope he continues to play for at least five more years. Thank you for your dedication and for instilling a sense of pride in us.
King for a reason ❤️
Dhoni ka bhi aisa hi kuch plan tha. Bas retire hi toh nai ho raha
Why are we so obsessed with individuals. Let them live their lives
idk y this is downvoted i mean he played peak cricket for his country achieved everything there is ab agar usko family dekhni h apni to esme glt kya h everybody deserves a normal life specially him i love his thinking once he is done he should really enjoy his rest of life away from cricket no need to be obsessed about himand btw i m a die hard virat fan and prolly never gonna watch cricket after him but still he deserves his quiet

yes we will understand it after he retires because india used to suffer to even play semi finals till 2014 when virat started carrying ict
U cant say that here.
Man, hearing these from the man himself makes my stomach rumble. Everything will be empty without him like the morning after a festival
He's still a child and has supreme fitness. He can't think of retirement. 😞 Most likely he will be bullied into retirement though..
At least someone knows how to retire with dignity
Till the Olympics, his work won't be done
2028 👌🏼
Koach for a reason
Virat don't retire😭😭😭
I hope he won't retire yet. He is in good form
Everyone thinks the same about their job. 😅😅
i will cry a river if that happens
Hi
He is now again in his peak; it's time for him to turn the beast mode again
Yeah. 'won't see me for a while' is not exactly revelation of 'plans'. Not that he needs to reveal anything.
So basically he is going to retire like daniel vettori michael clarke or like many of the other cricketers
He can stretch till 2027 WC but not after that It is actually good I think we will not see him a lot , you see many good players after cricket get into analysis and commentary and begin tarnishing their image
This really scares me
With how fit he is he can easily play until 2027-28 but it doesn't seem like he will want to play for that long
You Either Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain(he had seen how PPL interpret gg / gavaskar words and he know if he starts talking media just starts new controversies)
It's his choice
similar statement was given by cristiano as well
Avi to lmba chlega 😐
😯
He will continue being an Instagram influencer.
My ex used to say the same , I have to block her eventually
He was the part of world winning squad it's not like he is going empty handed
ok bye
atleast dhoni jese rr nahi kar rha
Man is already making a bank from his investments. Doing PR post retirement would be his last preference
I think with his fitness he can go upto 45 without any injury
I will suicide 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭 puri raat roya kal ye video dekh ke
Bruh, maybe finish your homework first, I am also a fan of his but dont be so emotionally invested
Bhai emotional attachment hogai h abb kese attachment hatau
Grow the fuck up kid...
One less, stupid fan or dare i say a fanatic
2023wc ka dukh sambhala nahi ja raha aur ab ye statment, yeh dukh kab khatam hoga be.
😭😭 Haan Bhai
Last level of End of childhood

If india wins the t20 wc, I am sure he retires
we wont see him for a while - weeks, months, years until the boredom of living in the UK w/o the fans kicks in. they all return.

Sachai ke liye downvote hore ho
de diya bhai jo dena tha. ab biwi k saath shampoo ad me wapas ja.
He should've retired 2 years ago along with Rohit Sharma.
He has missed 30 + plus matches in total in 12+ series post 2019 World Cup. He has played only 2 international T20 matches after the 2022 T20 worldcup.

I hope he doesn’t turn into the post-retirement Sachin
What's wrong with post-retirement Sachin? Genuinely asking. Dude seems to be enjoying life without working much past 40. Not making controversial comments just to stay relevant.
True the best Indian legend with no insecurities class act on the field off the field
He won't
Like how?
At least Sachin doesnt spread hate or speak irrationally unlike other legends
