Virat Kohli's first reaction came after his sudden retirement from Test cricket. The former Indian captain said that he dyed his beard just two days ago. Virat Kohli said these things at a special gala dinner organized by former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh.
Virat's arrival on stage and 'The Beard Joke'
In the next part of the program, Gaurav Kapoor hosted a special conversation session. Initially, Virat Kohli was not on stage, but later he also came on stage with the rest of the legends. In the 'Meet and Greet' segment, when Gaurav Kapoor brought up his retirement from Test cricket, Kohli smiled and said:
I dyed my beard just two days ago... When you have to dye your beard every four days, then you understand that the time has come!
Heartfelt praise for Shastri
Kohli spoke openly on stage about his strong relationship with former head coach Ravi Shastri. He said that if Shastri had not supported him, his Test career would not have been the way it was.
Honestly, if I had not worked with Ravi bhai... whatever happened in Test cricket would never have been possible. The way he supported me by standing on the frontline in the press conference is rare. He has been a very important part of my journey.
Yuvraj Singh Foundation event
This event in London was organized to raise funds for Yuvraj Singh's YouWeCan Foundation. The entire Indian cricket team and the support staff, led by Gautam Gambhir, were present at this special evening.
