Will play for another 10 years if I remain fit: Kohli

TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Virat Kohli will like to “play for another 10 years” if he is able to train as hard as he is at this point of time in his career. Kohli, who will turn 29 in less than two months time, today spoke about how players at times don’t realise where to stop as far as training is concerned.

“Lot of us don’t actually know how far we can push ourselves. May be at times, without knowing, we are only able to realise 70 percent of our potential. Therefore it is necessary to push yourself until you are done. For example, if I train as hard as I train now, I will possibly play for another 10 years,” Kohli said during a promotional event here.

The Indian skipper, who has scored 4658 runs in 60 Tests and 8587 runs in 194 ODIs, through his ‘Virat Kohli Foundation’ (VKF) in association with the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, will award scholarships to to individuals who have undertaken exceptional initiatives to promote sports at the grassroot level.

The VKF has pledged a minimum of Rs. 2 crore to be utilised every year on the beneficiaries of the scholarships. The shortlisted athletes/initiatives will be tracked through the year and their progress monitored.
