Virat Kohli is likely to miss the remaining Test matches against England because of Anushka Sharma’s pregnancy. He opted out of the first two Tests due to “personal reasons” and later the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) requested everyone to respect Kohli’s privacy.

But fans continued to rack their minds to come up with reasons. A few days ago, rumors of Kohli’s mother’s illness started spreading, which his brother Vikas Kohli quashed on Instagram. However, Kohli’s former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) teammate AB de Villiers spilled the beans on his YouTube channel by saying, “A second child is on the way.”

The BCCI has not heard anything from Kohli and, as per some reports, Kohli won’t feature in the third and fourth Tests but may come back for the fifth Test. Amidst all these discussions, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra backed Kohli, saying the former India cricketer doesn’t need to share everything happening in his life.

AB de Villiers spilled the beans slightly, but we have no idea at all what exactly is happening in his life. Personally, I won't try to find out either. We will get to hear once he is comfortable. You also don't know what is going on in my life. I only share what I want to share.
Chopra said on his YouTube channel

There is no obligation that you need to tell the entire world what’s happening in your life.

Michael Clarke praises Virat Kohli

Former Australian captain Michael Clarke, during a recent interview with ESPN Australia, called Jasprit Bumrah a “freak” after he scalped nine wickets in Vizag on a pitch that remained flat most of the time. Bumrah’s nine-wicket haul helped India beat Ben Stokes and Co. in the second Test. So now, India has leveled the series 1-1.

Clarke also said that if Virat Kohli comes back for the Test series, England will find it tough to beat the home team. He also called Kohli the best player across all three formats.

The third Test will be played in Rajkot, from February 15.
