Earlier, India’s cricketing body BCCI had announced that Kohli had pulled out of the first two tests due to “personal reasons”. He had landed to join the squad in Hyderabad on the same day but flew back. There is no clear reason given by the board then for Kohli’s absence with their last statement mentioning: “Virat has spoken to Captain Rohit Sharma, the team management, and the selectors and has emphasised that while representing the country has always been his top priority, certain personal situations demand his presence and undivided attention.”
Meanwhile, as the fans were waiting for the return of former Indian captain to the former captain to the ground, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers had, in what he called “a false information” later, revealed (and also confirmed the rumours) that star India batter and his wife Anushka Sharma were expecting their second child.
