What's going on bc. Virat, the pinnacle of fitness in indian team for so many years taking retirement at 36. While some kaddu people with no fitness easily played till 38.
Is he alright, fitness wise? That day he was checking his heart beat and that fatigue thing.
I was thinking of getting active again, start some weight lifting. Does it even makes any diff ? I have some real life example also of same kind.
Is it because he was expecting to be made the captain for one more WTC?
That said, a great career comes to end, after the last two series debacle, he was clearly on the decline and this is a better way to go. England series would have been very tough for him and woukd have further dented his legacy.
I hope this gives enough fuel and drive to both Kohli and Sharma to try for WC 2027.
