During the RCB Gala Dinner, Virat Kohli and RCB skipper Faf du Plessis took the stage to address various questions. 

Kohli was asked about what keeps him hungry and motivated despite his numerous achievements as one of the questions. 

It's quite simple. I think as a sportsman, we do have an end-date to our careers. So I am just working backwards. I don't want to finish my career thinking 'oh, what if I have done this on that particular day' because I can't keep going on and on forever. So it's just about not leaving any undone business behind and not have any regrets later, which I am sure I won't."--Kohli said.

Kohli also mentioned his plans to take an extended break from cricket.

"Once I am done, I will be gone, you won't see me for a while (smiles). So I want to give it everything I have till the time I play, and that's the only thing that keeps me going," he said.

Kohli currently holds the Orange Cap in IPL 2024. He has scored 661 runs in 13 innings so far, with a strike rate of 155.16 and an average of 66.10. 

Kohli's RCB has to beat CSK and overtake CSK in NRR to qualify for the playoffs.
