Virat Kohli News / Virat is ready to come back from T20 retirement, with just one condition

Virat Kohli News: After the victory of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli had announced his retirement from this format. He had said goodbye to T20 International cricket with the aim of giving more opportunities to young players. But now he has given such a statement which has created a stir among cricket lovers. Kohli has indicated that he can withdraw his decision of T20 retirement, but for this he has put a special condition.

What is Virat Kohli's condition?

Virat Kohli recently joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for IPL 2025 on March 15. On this occasion, when he was asked a question about the possibilities of cricket in the Olympics and his playing at an event organized by the franchise, Kohli jokingly said:

'I will not withdraw retirement to play the Olympics. But if Team India reaches the final and we are playing for the gold medal, then I will definitely come back for that one match. Will win the medal and then come back home. It will be a great experience to get an Olympic medal.'

Although Kohli made this statement in a light-hearted manner, it is no less than a big hope for his fans.

Will Kohli really return?

Kohli may have expressed the possibility of his T20 comeback, but it cannot be considered a completely serious announcement. He said this in a joking tone, which means that he is not in the mood to formally return from retirement. Despite this, cricket fans can hope that if cricket is included in the Olympics and Team India reaches the final, then perhaps Kohli will turn his words into reality.

Plan after retirement

In this event, Virat Kohli also revealed about his post-retirement plans. He said that he has not yet decided what he will do after retirement. Kohli had asked the same question to one of his fellow players and he also got the same answer that there is no clear plan in this regard. However, Kohli definitely said that he will probably focus on traveling the world after retirement.

'To be honest, I don't know what I will do after retirement. Recently I asked one of my teammates the same question and got the same answer. But yes, I will probably travel as much as possible.'

Conclusion

It is clear from this statement of Virat Kohli that he does not want to completely stay away from cricket. His condition was definitely put in a joking manner, but it shows that if the right conditions are created, he can return for a special match. This is a ray of hope for Indian cricket fans that Kohli can be seen playing in T20 International once again.
