India captain Virat Kohli, in an interview to NDTV , revealed his desire to cook after retiring from cricket. "I do not (cook) but I know that I understand flavour.

After a certain stage, I'm going to have a lot of time once I am done playing cricket, so cooking is something I would definitely be interested in," said Kohli.
