Michael Vaughan, the former England Captain predicts Virat Kohli taking early retirement as Virat becomes a father to two kids. According to Vaughan, Kohli is prioritizing family over cricket. Missing the Five Test Match Series between India and England, itself shows how much Virat is concerned about his son and family. But however his (Virat) plans could change.
Vaughan said on Cricbuzz, “A brilliant season. You talk about retirement with Virat Kohli, I look at this a way that he can play for long. He is that fit. Unless his mind goes and he’s obviously got a young family now. In two-three years’ time, everything changes, and he just wants to spend quiet time; I completely get that”. Vaughan also says, “During his time away from the India vs England Test series, I believe he went to London and led a normal life. I’ve read a few of his comments and quotes and he just absolutely adored that normal life. I think that may take Virat away from cricket, like he just wants to go and have a quite time for a while”.
Vaughan added, “He is a class act. His game is obviously up there with the greats of the game, but the way that he has gone up a gear to stay afloat in this modern era of T20 cricket is exactly what you need. He’s got the game, the mindset, the work ethic that he would have had to put in the nets to work on that sweep shot”.

Vaughan says, “ I love his energy. He causes a bit of chaos in the game; he gives it to the camera and keeps fingers on his mouth to shut them up now and again, but sports need such characters. Those who can keep you going, keep you on the edge of your seat, cause a little controversy”.
As of now, no official statement has come from Virat Kohli about his retirement. RCB gets out in the elimination round with Rajasthan Royals.
