Future legend Virat Kohli's emotional speech when he retires after 18 years from now:
Match: Last match of the "13 ODI Series" between India and Sri Lanka.
Venue: Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
Presentation ceremony:
Ravi Shastri: (Yes, it's still him :-D): Now I'd like to invite the living legend, man who has played for India for over 20 years, Viraaaaat Kohli! (Kohli walks up to the stage).
Mic is all yours!
Virat Kohli: Arey BC settle down, I will get more and more aggressive talking (crowd cheers louder. This frustrates Kohli). I said shut the f**k up. I'd like to thank a few people who stood by me all these years, supported me, understood that it's just the way I'm every time I showed them middle-finger and gracefully moved on. I've created a list also (he chuckles), but if I forget someone, please understand that it IS deliberate, intentional and you deserve to be ignored.
First of all, I thank my mom and dad. Next I thank all women I had affairs with, which continuously motivated me to play well, both on and off the field. I thank all the brands like Pepsi, Royal Challenge, Fastrack and more who believed in me and offered me crores of money for a small bullsh** 10 second ad. Seriously, thank you guys, you boosted my morale. Most important of all, I thank BCCI for setting up SO MANY India-Sri Lanka matches all through my career without which, my century count would be half as much. I thank all the Sri Lankan bowlers for making my journey so memorable.
During my illustrious career, I played with some BC incredible bowlers like Nehra and Ishanth who helped the opposition set up huge targets so I could chase them down and hit more centuries. So, I thank all those bowlers who are indirectly, actually directly, responsible for me being a legend today.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, and also say that time has flown by rather quickly, but the memories you have left with me will always be with me forever and ever, especially, that "Kohli Kohli" and that "boooooo" which will reverberate in my ears till I stop breathing. Thank you very much. If I've missed something, I hope you understand that it's intentional. Thank you All BC, MC!!
GOODBYE"
