Bhubaneswar: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is just round the corner. Some of the biggest stars of cricket are going to announce their retirement after the completion of the mega event.
When it comes to the Indian team, the names of skipper Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli have been discussed during retirement debates among fans and experts. Kohli’s former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate AB de Villiers feels that it might not be a bad idea for Kohli to say goodbye if India go on to win this World Cup.
As per the former Mr 360 degree batsman, it’s tough to say whether the talismanic batter will play the 2027 ODI World Cup or not.
“I know Kohli would love travelling to South Africa for the 2027 World Cup, but it’s very difficult to say. It is a long time away. Let’s focus on this one first, I think that is what Virat Kohli would tell you. I think if they win this World Cup, it might not be a bad time to say, ‘Thank you very much. I am maybe just going to play Test cricket for the next few years and a little bit of IPL, enjoy the last bit of my career, have enough family time, and say goodbye to everyone’,” said De Villiers on his official YouTube channel.
