Won't pick up bat again once I retire: Virat Kohli

Sydney, Jan 11 (IBNS): It may be still a few more years left for Virat Kohli to announce his retirement but the skipper has already shared his retirement plans.

During a media interaction in Australia ahead of the ODI series against the hosts, Kohli said he will never pick up the bat again once he announces his retirement from the game.

"Look, I don't know whether that stance is going to change in the future," Kohli said.

"I have played enough cricket in the last five years and I cannot comment on even the first thing I do when I retire because I don't feel like I am going to pick up the bat again," he said.

"I will be spent, the day I finish I will be totally spent and that's the reason I am going to stop playing cricket. So I don't see myself coming back and playing again," Kohli said.

In his prime form right now, Kohli has been breaking records with his bat  ever since he made his debut for India.

He is currently the captain of the Indian cricket team that created history by beating Australia 2-1 at their backyard.

This was the first time an Indian team won a Test series in Australia.
