Well aware of the fact that he can't keep going forever, Indian batting great Virat Kohli said that once he's done with his cricket, he would be gone and won't be seen for a while.


In IPL 2024, Virat Kohli registered his eighth century in the league's history. So far, he has scored 661 runs in 13 matches and is enjoying the top spot for the leading run-scorer in the tournament.


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 of 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 backwards, 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.

Virat Kohli has also been named in India's T20 World Cup 2024 squad which is set to begin from June 2.

Former Indian player Harbhajan Singh said that Royal Challengers Bengaluru should bring back Virat Kohli as their captain, 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. Featuring 113 Tests, 292 ODIs, and 117 T20Is, Virat Kohli has amassed over 26,000 international runs across formats.

Kohli holds the record for most runs in the history of T20 World Cups with 1141 to his credit. India is placed in Group A of the tournament, alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, Ireland, Canada and co-hosts USA.

They will begin their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York before taking on Pakistan on June 9.
