'You Want To Leave In Better Position': Virat Kohli Addresses Retirement Rumours After IND's Second Champions Trophy Win

Star Team India batter Virat Kohli has addressed the rumours surrounding his future in the game. Kohli expressed that he is content with the team's performance after a tough run against Australia while down under. He also expressed that the team is in good hands.

Kohli also expressed praise for New Zealand, who gave them a tough competition in the Champions Trophy Final.

"It's been amazing, we wanted to bounce back after a tough Australia tour. Lovely playing with a bunch of amazing youngsters. They're stepping up and taking India in the right direction. After playing for so long, you look forward to playing under pressure. To win titles, the whole team has to step up in different games. People have played such impactful knocks and had spells, that collective effort is what has done it for us. I try to speak to these guys, try to share my experience, tell them how I've played for so long. When you leave, you want to leave in a better position.

“So many impactful knocks Gill, Shreyas, Rahul, etc, all have played. The team is in good hands. We've always been in awe of what NZ can do with limited no. of players. They come in with a set plan. Every fielder knows where the bowler will bowl. They have immense belief in their skills, best fielding side. Huge shoutout to them. Sad to see a very good friend (Kane Williamson) on the losing side, only love between us,” Virat Kohli said after Team India's win against New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the UAE, as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
