Michael Vaughan discusses Virat Kohli's future in International cricket

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has delved into the intriguing prospect of Virat Kohli considering an early retirement from cricket. 

In a recent interview, Vaughan hinted at the evolving priorities in Kohli's life, especially after the former Indian skipper welcomed his second child.

"A brilliant season. You talk about retirement with Virat Kohli, I look at this in a way that he can play for long. He is that fit. Unless his mind goes and he's obviously got a young family now. In two-three years' time, everything changes, and he just wants to spend quiet time; I completely get that," Vaughan said.

The former cricketer highlighted Kohli's recent break during the India vs England Test series, where the right-hand batter spent time in London enjoying a "normal life."
 
"During his time away from the India vs England Test series, I believe he went to London and led a normal life. I've read a few of his comments and quotes and he just absolutely adored that normal life. I think that may take Virat away from cricket like he just wants to go and have a quiet time for a while," he said.

Despite contemplating a potential shift in Kohli's career trajectory, Vaughan couldn't help but praise the Indian maestro's contributions to the game. 

"He is a class act. His game is up there with the greats of the game, but the way that he has gone up a gear to stay afloat in this modern era of T20 cricket is exactly what you need. He's got the game, the mindset, the work ethic that he would have had to put in the nets to work on that sweep shot," he said.

"I love his energy. He causes a bit of chaos in the game; he gives it to the camera and keeps fingers on his mouth to shut them up now and again, but sports need such characters. Those who can keep you going, keep you on the edge of your seat, cause a little controversy," he concluded.
