The Delhi coach revealed that Virat Kohli was all set to tour England and was preparing for it as well, expressing a desire to play the matches for India A to acclimatise himself to the English conditions.
On Monday, May 12, batting superstar Virat Kohli joined the unwanted list of the great cricketers, who ended their career after the Australia tour. He followed the same path as Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin, both of whom recently featured in their last Test matches for the nation in Australia.
However, with his recent retirement, Sachin's record will most likely be unbroken as ODIs are not played very frequently these days, and by the time the 2027 ODI World Cup arrives, Kohli will be 39, with even less hunger to play cricket.
“This morning when I heard this news that Virat Kohli has announced his retirement. This was a big surprise for me. And as far as we were talking about the Delhi Ranji Trophy, the way he was playing the matches, 4-5 days before that, we started talking to him about the matches he wants to play. He showed his involvement.”

“The way he started his preparation for the red ball, he was talking about how the Australia tour would have been, but he was preparing for the England tour, how we would win the Test match. But suddenly, now we see that the person who was ready to go to England will not be going to England. That announcement that has been made today, I think everyone is shocked,” said the Delhi coach.

Sarandeep Singh further made an even bigger revelation, stating that Virat Kohli had no plans to play county cricket, but set his eyes on playing India A matches to prepare for the five-match Test series against England, where he wanted to hit 3-4 tons. He elaborated:
"He said he would play two matches for India A, and then I will prepare for the Test match. He said he wants to score 3-4 hundreds, just like the 2018 tour. So he was planning to play for India A. But suddenly, I heard that he was not playing. This is surprising."
