In a recent revelation, former South African cricketer AB de Villiers confirmed the reason behind Virat Kohli’s unexpected withdrawal from the first two Tests against England. Kohli, who was initially part of the squad, cited personal reasons for his absence, leaving fans speculating until now.
AB de Villiers, Kohli’s former teammate at Royal Challengers Bangalore, disclosed in a YouTube video that the star Indian cricketer is set to welcome his second child with wife Anushka Sharma. De Villiers expressed support for Kohli’s decision, emphasizing the importance of family and stating, “Yes, we miss him. But he has made absolutely the right decision.”
The absence of Kohli from the initial Test matches has sparked curiosity about his potential return for the remaining games. With the third Test scheduled for February 15 at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, the BCCI is yet to announce the squad for the upcoming matches. Kohli’s dedication to family priorities continues to be at the forefront, further adding uncertainty to his return in the ongoing series against England.
