Is Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s legendary batter Virat Kohli planning to retire from the IPL? Or will Kohli be seen playing for another team in the next IPL season after leaving RCB?
According to several media reports, Virat Kohli has reportedly refused to renew a commercial contract with RCB, which has fueled speculation about his possible IPL retirement.
However, for your information, the commercial contract is a side agreement — the main playing contract is separate, and Kohli has not refused that. The commercial deal has nothing to do with his retirement or any intention of leaving RCB.
Earlier this year, RCB won their first-ever IPL title in 18 years, and Kohli’s emotional reaction after the victory clearly showed how deeply connected he is to this franchise.
However, if the RCB franchise itself is ever sold, Kohli’s stance might change. Otherwise, he is expected to continue playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the coming seasons.
