The renowned South African cricketer and Virat Kohli’s close friend, AB de Villiers, revealed on Saturday, February 3, that the Indian batsman and his wife, Anushka Sharma, are expecting their second child. Significantly, this development has raised questions over whether he will play in the upcoming three Test matches against the Ben Stokes-led team.
Three days before the first Test match between India and England began on January 25, star batsman Virat Kohli announced his withdrawal from the first two Tests, which were played in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. Notably, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) broke the news and stated that the cricket player had withdrawn from two matches due to personal reasons.
“I’ve been meaning to check with you on one subject for a while now, cookie. How are you doing?’ I wrote to Kohli. “How are you? I just need to be with my family right now,” he replied. Yes, he is expecting his second child; it’s a family affair. You can’t hold Virat responsible for that; sure, we mourn him, but he made the correct choice. During a live session on his YouTube channel, De Villiers sent Anushka and him the best wishes for the immense blessing of becoming fathers for the second time.
However, as AB de Villiers revealed the details of Anushka’s pregnancy, the fans had various opinions. After learning the news, a number of followers were ecstatic and congratulated the pair. Others, meanwhile, ridiculed the Proteas mythology for disclosing the details that Kohli and Anushka had kept under wraps. In addition, it has been stated that Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of the selection committee, will speak with the former captain of India about his availability for the rest of the Test series.
The following is the response that ‘X’ users had when Ab de Villiers revealed Virat-Anushka’s pregnancy:
