Harbhajan Singh revealed a touching moment involving his daughter, who was puzzled by Kohli's decision. "My daughter said to me 'Papa, why did Virat Kohli take retirement? I want to message him.'" This prompted an emotional response from Kohli, highlighting the deep connection he shares with fans and peers.
