Kohli said, as far as he is concerned playing more cricket when he is done, he is not in that zone yet. “I played enough cricket in the last five years and I can’t comment on even the first thing I’m gonna do when I retire. I don’t feel like I’m gonna pick up the bat again. I am spent, the day I finish I’ll be totally spent, so I don’t see myself coming back again and again. Once I’m done, I would be done and I won’t be seen around the scene,” Kohli added.
