once-i-m-done-i-ll-be-gone-you-won-t-see-me-for-a-while-virat

Referring to his cricket career, Indian batting superstar Virat Kohli wants to give everything he has to his cricket career because once he is done, he says he will be "gone" and won't be seen "for a while."

 

 Kohli's appetite for runs and centuries has already got him a record eighth ton in the IPL this season and he continues to lead the scoring charts with a mind-boggling 661 runs from 13 games for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

 

In a video posted by RCB on social media, the 35-year-old said the desire to live a regret-free life keeps him going.

 

"So, it's just about not leaving any undone business behind and not having any regrets later, which I'm very sure I won't. Once I'm done, I'll be gone; you won't see me for a while." 

 

"So, I want to give it everything I have till the time I play and that's the only thing that keeps me going," said Kohli when asked what keeps him hungry.

 

Kohli was picked by RCB soon after he led India to a title triumph in the 2008 Under-19 World Cup and he has continued to be with the franchise ever since.

"I think, as sportsmen, we do have an end date to our careers, so I'm just working backward, I don't want to finish my career thinking what if I had done this on that particular day because I can't keep going on and on forever," he added.

 

The former India captain is part of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies beginning next month.

 

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh had recently opined that RCB should think about giving back the team's captaincy to Kohli, saying he has an ideal combination of intent, commitment, and aggression to take the side forward from the next season.

 

South African Faf du Plessis is currently leading RCB.
