Will Virat Kohli declare his retirement early?

Every athlete must make the hardest decision of their career at some point in their lives: retirement. The R-word is feared by both athletes and their hordes of supporters, and you can only imagine the feelings that are involved when the athlete is an elite performer like Virat Kohli. Imagine the tears that will be shed when the time finally arrives for Kohli to retire if his statement that he won't be seen once he is gone, which was meant to be only a tease, will move a whole country. No matter how fit he is, Kohli's career will end in the sunset. Father Time doesn't spare anyone in the end, not even the powerful King Kohli.

Indian cricket players often stop playing for the national team between the ages of 39 and 40. Given his level of health, Kohli, who is 35, may become the first Indian cricket player to retire at 40.
