Amit Mishra Responds to Shahid Afridi’s Virat Kohli Advice. Former India spinner Amit Mishra slammed Shahid Afridi’s retirement advice to Virat Kohli.
Amit Mishra, a former India leg-spinner, responded sharply to former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s retirement advice for India star Virat Kohli. Afridi previously stated that if Kohli chooses to retire. He should do so on a high note and not at a time when he is being drop from the team. Amit Mishra responded to a news report about Afridi’s quotes by writing, “Dear Afridi, some people retire only once, so please spare Virat Kohli from all this.”

Mishra’s tweet was prompted by Afridi’s history of announcing his retirement several times before retracting it.
“The way Virat has played, the start that he had to his career, he had overcome struggles and work hard before he made a name for himself. He is a champion and I believe there comes a stage when you are headed towards retirement. At such a stage, the aim should be to go out on a high,” Afridi had said on Samaa TV.
“It shouldn’t get to the point where you’re drop from the team. Instead, retirement should be announce when you’re at your peak, which rarely happens. Very few players, especially cricketers from the Asian region, make that decision, but I feel when Virat does it, he’ll do it in a good way and probably end his career in style much like the way he started.”
Kohli had been struggling for a while. He return to form in the Asia Cup, and he did so in style.
He scored two half-centuries before ending a nearly three-year century drought with his maiden T20 International (T20I) ton.
Kohli went on to score 276 runs in the Asia Cup, with an average of 92 and a strike rate of 147.59. He finished second in run-scoring behind Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan.
