‘I Made A Big Mistake’ – AB de Villiers Apologises for Revealing Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma Expecting ‘2nd Child’
AB de Villiers has retracted from his earlier statement that Virat Kohli's absence is because he is expecting his second child.
Against a backdrop of uncertainty surrounding Virat Kohli’s participation in the ongoing Test series against England, former South African captain AB de Villiers shook things up with a surprising claim, stating that the batting giant and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child.
Kohli opted out of the initial two Tests against England due to personal reasons, leaving his involvement in the remaining series uncertain. During his YouTube live session, de Villiers was questioned about his conversations with Kohli and his well-being.
However, de Villiers has come forward to retract his previous statement, acknowledging a mistake and clarifying that the speculation about Virat and Anushka expecting their second child is false. He admitted to receiving misinformation and issued an apology.
“Family comes first and then Cricket. I made a big mistake on my YouTube channel. That information was wrong and not true at all. I think whatever’s best for Virat’s family comes first. No one knows what’s happening there, all I can do is wish him well. Whatever the reason for his break, I hope he can come back stronger, better and fresh from this,” De Villiers told Dainik Bhaskar.
Team India is yet to announce their squad for the third Test, starting in Rajkot from February 15. Reports have emerged that Kohli might miss the third, as well as the fourth Test.
