Whether it’s anything as extensively followed as Virat Kohli‘s career or something as dull as a documentary about traffic rules, everything that starts must finish.
Before India’s tour to England, Virat Kohli said goodbye to Test cricket after winning the T20 World Cup in 2024. The fans couldn’t handle it because it meant that India’s most famous and adored batsman of the past ten or so years would only play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and one format (ODIs).
You can’t help but wonder what Virat Kohli might do after he retires when things move so quickly.
Let’s examine three job choices for Kohli after retirement, even if he will undoubtedly be taking care of his children and likely let his wife, Anushka Sharma, to resume her Bollywood career.
Inspirational Author and Speaker
Virat Kohli is someone who talks as though he has not only devoured every motivational book ever written, but also adheres to its principles on a regular basis. He has spent a lot of time improving his diction over the years, and as a result, he is currently among the best speakers in contemporary cricket.
He simply knows what buttons to press with people. He is a man who knows the importance of his words, as evidenced by the way he spoke to Test cricket immediately following RCB’s IPL victory and encouraged young players to play the longest format. He would therefore be incredibly skilled if he ever decided to take the mic.
Entrepreneur
Kohli already owns companies that are on par with some of India’s top companies in their respective fields. Kohli has already established a number of highly successful brands, whether they are in the food industry, insurance (Digit), or even the clothing industry (Wrogn).
Kohli may build on them after he retires and use his face as a brand to create and promote his goods. He will undoubtedly be able to build it up even further once he is able to commit to it full-time.
Manager/Coach of Cricket
Virat Kohli is not the type of person who would ever want to be on an analytics show or commentary box. However, as he shown in India and the RCB, he is undoubtedly the type of leader and thinker who can inspire his team and inspire others to follow his example.
No team would turn down the opportunity to have Virat Kohli coach the players and lead them to greatness, if politics and personal preferences were temporarily set aside. The pitch would be a perfect fit for Virat Kohli if he ever chose to take on managerial responsibilities because very few cricket players in the world have undergone such a transformation through fitness.
