Virat Kohli’s On-Field Gesture For ‘Retiring’ Steve Smith Sets Internet On Fire – Watch

Australian cricket team star batter Steve Smith announced his retirement from ODI cricket following his team’s loss against India in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal in Dubai on Tuesday. Smith, who slammed a gritty half-century, was the top performer for his team but a brilliant knock from Virat Kohli and a late cameo from Hardik Pandya clinched the game for India. While Smith informed the world about his decision on Wednesday, several social media users were convinced that he told Kohli about the retirement on Tuesday. In a video going viral, the two star cricketers were seen having a brief conversation before they shared a hug. Some users felt that Kohli asked whether it was Smith’s final match when they were shaking hand at the end of the match and the Australia star cricketer said yes.
