After Arijit Singh announced his retirement from playback singing, a video resurfaced showing Indian cricket star Virat Kohli expressing his admiration for the renowned singer. In the video, Kohli mentioned that Arijit’s songs are always at the top of his playlist and hailed him as the real hero in the music industry.
Arijit Singh, a prominent figure in the music industry, has lent his voice to over 700 songs in Hindi and Bengali. He first gained recognition in 2005 on the reality show Fame Gurukul and made his Bollywood debut with the song ‘Phir Mohabbat’ from Murder 2. Arijit has been honored with the National Award for Best Male Playback Singer twice and received the prestigious Padma Shri Award from the Government of India in 2025.
On January 27, Arijit Singh surprised fans by announcing his retirement, without providing a specific reason for his decision. This news left his devoted followers saddened and shocked by the sudden announcement.
Turning to cricket news, Virat Kohli is set to return to the Indian national team in July 2026 when they tour England for a series of three ODIs starting on July 14. Kohli, who now resides in London, last played for India in the recent ODI series against New Zealand, where he performed admirably, scoring 240 runs at an average of 80.
Despite Kohli’s impressive performances, New Zealand emerged victorious in the series, with the Indian team failing to chase down a target of 338 in the final match, despite Kohli’s century. The defeat also saw Kohli lose his ICC No. 1 ODI ranking to Daryl Mitchell, who outperformed him in the series.
Fans can look forward to seeing Kohli back in action during the IPL 2026 season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), with the tournament expected to commence on March 26.
