What! Virat Kohli says cricket is not the most important thing in his life

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been breaking records after records and there has been no turning back for this energetic player.

The man wears his hearts on his sleeve when it comes to showcasing his emotions on the pitch. However, for Kohli, there is more to life than just cricket and he has already planned his retirement.

While he continues to dominate as one of the greats in modern day cricket, Kohli wants to focus on his family post-retirement.

He has claimed that he won't be touching his bat after retiring.

"8 years down the line, priority would be family. Priority would be myself, Anushka and our family by then. Cricket would obviously be a part of my life always but I think family should be the priority at all times because nothing is bigger than life. Cricket is a part of life, nothing should be bigger than life," Kohli said on his Mobile Application, Virat Kohli App.

"I know people take life too seriously and be like... 'if you don't take cricket too seriously, then you're not committed enough'. I don't believe in all that. The larger picture always has to be life because whatever happens and may happen, you always come back home.

"So I think the priority will be family, should be family. Cricket will be a very special part of my life, but it's not the most important thing in life is the way I see it. I am blessed to be able to do it right now, it has to end one day. Eight years down the line, I think I will be totally focused on my family," he said.

Kohli has recently clinched the title for becoming the first ever Indian captain to win a Test series in Australia. He also led India to the ODI series victory.
