AB de Villiers Confirms ‘Second Child On the Way’ for Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma

Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has confirmed that Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child, suggesting this as the reason for Kohli’s absence from the first two Tests against England.

De Villiers, who shares a strong bond with Kohli from their time together at Royal Challengers Bangalore, disclosed this during a live session on his YouTube channel. Responding to a fan’s query about Kohli’s absence, De Villiers assured that Kohli is in good health and spending quality time with his family.

While hosting the session, De Villiers also shared snippets of his conversation with the Indian cricket star through text messages. Kohli expressed his need to prioritize family time, affirming that he is well amid the anticipation of their second child.

The former Indian captain, who married Anushka Sharma in January 2017, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Vamika, in January 2021. Kohli had previously taken paternity leave during 2021 for the birth of their first child.

Kohli’s last appearance for India was in the T20I series against Afghanistan, where he endured a duck in the final match. Initially selected for the first two Tests against England, Kohli was later ruled out due to personal reasons. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not confirmed whether Kohli will rejoin the squad for the remaining three Tests.
