“I think as a sportsman we have an end date to our careers. So I’m just working backwards. I don’t want to end my career thinking ‘oh what if I had done this on that particular day’ because I can’t go on indefinitely .So it’s just about not leaving any unfinished business behind and not regretting it later, which I’m sure I won’t do,” Kohli said at the RCB Royal Gala Dinner.
Kohli suggested that once he retires from cricket, he would take a long break before deciding his next chapter.
“When I’m done, I’ll leave, you won’t see me for a while (smiles). So I want to give everything I have until it’s time to play, and that’s the only thing that keeps me going,” she said. he added.
