Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma blessed with baby boy

Indian cricketing star Virat Kohli became father for the second time.

The ongoing test series between India and England has attracted cricket fans worldwide, with India currently leading 2-1 in the five-match series. However, the conspicuous absence of Virat Kohli, India’s formidable batter, has dominated headlines and discussions throughout.

Prior to the commencement of the series in Hyderabad, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) disclosed that Kohli would miss the first two tests due to undisclosed personal reasons, urging fans to respect his privacy during this time. This revelation sparked widespread speculation regarding the nature of Kohli’s absence, fueling rumours and conjecture across various platforms.

As the series progressed, anticipation grew regarding Kohli’s potential return for the latter matches. However, just before the third test, the BCCI announced that Kohli would continue to be sidelined for the remaining three tests, with his availability for the fifth test contingent upon various factors.

Secretary Jay Shah reiterated the board’s support for Kohli, affirming that his absence stemmed from genuine reasons and emphasising the BCCI’s solidarity with the former captain during this period. Despite the reassurance from the board, Kohli’s prolonged absence only intensified the speculation surrounding his personal circumstances, prompting further analysis and debate among fans and pundits alike.
