"My daughter has picked up a bat and she is really enjoying swinging the bat. But, I am not sure. It's their choice at the end of the day."

During the interview, Virat also revealed that Sunil Chhetri messaged him before announcing his retirement on Thursday. "He is a really dear friend..He actually messaged me as well informing me that he is gonna do it. He felt like he is at peace with the decision. I have become really close with him over the years. I wish him nothing but the best. He is a lovely lovely guy," said Kohli.
