IPL 2025: 3 reasons why Virat Kohli didn’t retire after winning the final

RCB star batter Virat Kohli’s dream to win the IPL title finally came true when his franchise defeated the Punjab Kings by six wickets to win the IPL 2025 on June 3rd at the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. Kohli has been the face of RCB over the years but could not win the title in the last 18 years. Despite that, Kohli kept believing in the team and stood with them like a wall alongside loyal RCB fans.

After winning the title, Kohli dropped a big hint and stated that he would continue playing for the side till the last game he played in the IPL. His statement was a clear indication that he is not going to retire. Given below are the three reasons why Kohli didn’t retire after winning IPL 2025.

His passion for cricket

Virat Kohli‘s passion and love for cricket have been unmatched, even at the age of 36. The star player thrives on the tournaments, competition intensity, and the challenges despite winning their maiden title. The stylish right-handed batter’s passion for the game keeps him going every day. Winning just one title for RCB hasn’t diminished his fire but made him hungrier to win many more.

His form in the IPL

The star player has been in red-hot form and played a huge role in guiding his side to win the title this time. The star player finished as a top scorer for his side while placed in the third spot, being the highest run-scorer in the tournament. He played a crucial 43-run knock to help RCB beat PBKS by six runs in the summit clash. As long as he is scoring runs and staying fit, there is no reason to step away from the IPL.

His leadership beyond captaincy

The star batter is no longer RCB’s skipper, but he still seems to be a natural leader for the side. The star batter’s presence on the team seems to be invaluable. His leadership skills were seen during the IPL final against PBKS on June 3rd. In addition, the 36-year-old cricketer’s tactical skill and pragmatic approach on the field seem very impactful in the IPL 2025.
