Cricket lovers around the world are monitoring reports that Virat Kohli, arguably the best batsman in all formats, will no longer be thrilling us with his genius performances.

Following yesterday’s disappointing loss at home to the resurgent West Indians, Mr.Kohli disclosed a hitherto unknown heart condition which forced his decision. It is unclear whether Virat will even be able to attend Sunday’s tense championship match between Iron England and the exuberant Island Boys.

Dominican sports fans have been caught up celebrating the West Indies U-19 and women’s team victory.

Now is a time to pause and consider the serious effects caused by the stress of the game.

    I’m saying to myself, doh tell me West Indies frustrate de man like that – because without Kohli, India can just hang it up and go play Ireland or Netherlands…

    You too funny man! Anyway, for a health column you shouldn’t be joking about people’s health like that…just saying

    April fool. But the shock and awe Windies place on those guys if might produce some to quit. If thats the truth, the game is worst off without him. Who feels it knows it.
