Virat's Heart Also Sank: Harbhajan Reveals Chat Between Kohli And His Daughter

Virat Kohli’s Test retirement has not sunk in yet amongst many of his fans and former India spinner Harbhajan Singh’s daughter is one of them. The young girl, named Hinaya, apparently, even messaged Kohli, asking why he was retiring?

Harbhajan revealed the conversation between his daughter and Kohli and how Kohli even felt his heart sinking at the innocent question of his fan. 

“I tweeted and asked, ‘Why, Virat, why? Why did you retire from Test cricket?’. Even my daughter asked me, ‘Papa, why did Virat retire?’ She even texted Virat asking, ‘This is Hinaya, Virat, why did you retire?’ Virat’s heart also sank. He smiled and replied, ‘Beta, it’s time,'” Harbhajan was quoted as saying to Instant Bollywood.

The former India captain, who retired with 9230 runs at an average of 46.85, is playing brilliantly in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with 626 runs to his kitty in 15 matches. His team has reached the final and will be aiming for their maiden title
