AB de Villiers confirms Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s second pregnancy; says, “It’s family time and things are important to him”

AB de Villiers shares Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma set to welcome second child.

Cricket enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating the return of Virat Kohli to the cricket field, following his absence from the first two Tests against England. The former Indian cricket team captain's break has sparked speculation about the reasons behind his decision.

While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) urged the public to respect Virat Kohli's privacy during this period, his former Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate AB de Villiers recently shed light on the matter during a YouTube live session. Responding to inquiries about Kohli's condition, de Villiers told fans, “All I know is he is fine. He is spending a bit of time with his family, that is the reason he is missing the first two Test matches. I am not going to confirm anything else. I cannot wait to see him back. He is fine, he is happy.”

The South African cricketer shared snippets of his conversation with Kohli, where the latter expressed the need to prioritize family at this juncture. Confirming the speculation, de Villiers revealed, “Yes, his second child is on the way. Yes, it's family time and things are important to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people's priority is family. You can't judge Virat for that. Yes, we miss him, but he has made the right decision.”

On the film front, Anushka Sharma is gearing up for the release of Chakda Xpress. The film will see her play the lead role of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. It will release on Netflix. Backed by her brother Karnesh Sharma's production house Clean Slate Filmz, the film also stars Triptii Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee and Babil Khan.

AB de Villiers' Candid Advice Amid Kohli-Gavaskar Controversy: 'Don't Say A Word'

Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) faced significant criticism for his performance during the first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. With RCB losing 7 of their first 8 games, Kohli’s strike rate became a major talking point. Even cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar criticized Kohli for his perceived lack of intent, prompting a response from the RCB star. Now, AB de Villiers has weighed in, expressing his dismay at the harsh criticism aimed at Kohli.

During a conversation on Jio Cinema, De Villiers shared his thoughts on the situation, recalling his own experiences of playing with and against Kohli. He emphasized that criticism often brings out the best in Kohli and advised teammates to avoid provoking him.

“I thought it was really unfair for a hero and role model like Virat to face so much criticism. But knowing him, I was certain that criticism would only fuel his determination. I used to tell my teammates, ‘do not say a word to Virat on the pitch,’ because if you do, he will respond with a big century,” De Villiers told Hindustan Times.

“Perhaps the criticism was a blessing in disguise, as it motivates him greatly,” he added.

Discussing Kohli’s role in the T20 World Cup, De Villiers countered the popular opinion, suggesting that Kohli should not open the innings with Rohit Sharma but should remain at the №3 spot.

“I believe Virat is most impactful at number three. He acts like the captain of the batting unit, maintaining calm and composure. Though Virat enjoys opening, I feel it’s risky to ask him to take on the game in the early overs. I prefer him to bat between overs 4 and 16–17, where he is unmatched,” the former South African captain stated.

De Villiers concluded by saying, “In my ideal team, he would bat at number three. His experience and understanding of the game make him most effective in that position.”

AB de Villiers retracts statement on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s second child; says, “No one knows what’s happening there”

AB De Villiers corrects misinformation on Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma second child.

Former South Africa captain AB de Villiers stirred up speculation about Indian cricket star Virat Kohli's potential absence from the ongoing Test series against England by suggesting that Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma, might be expecting their second child. Kohli had withdrawn from the India squad for the first two Tests against England, citing personal reasons, sparking uncertainties about his return for the remaining matches.

In a YouTube live session, de Villiers shared insights about his conversation with Kohli, indicating that Kohli was prioritizing family time during his absence. However, he later clarified that he had made an error in suggesting that Kohli and Anushka were expecting a second child, acknowledging that the information was false.

De Villiers emphasized the importance of family and supported Kohli's decision to focus on personal matters. He expressed his wishes for Kohli's well-being and hoped for his swift return to cricket after addressing any familial concerns.

De Villiers told Dainik Bhaskar, “Family comes first and then Cricket. I had 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 comeback stronger, better and fresh from this.”

Kohli's absence from the Indian team has fuelled speculation about his availability for the upcoming Tests against England. While the Indian cricket board has not confirmed Kohli's return, reports suggest that he might miss not only the third Test in Rajkot, beginning on February 15, but also the fourth Test.

On the film front, Anushka Sharma is gearing up for the release of Chakda Xpress. The film will see her play the lead role of former Indian cricketer Jhulan Goswami. It will release on Netflix. Backed by her brother Karnesh Sharma's production house Clean Slate Filmz, the film also stars Triptii Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee and Babil Khan.

AB de Villiers Comments on Rohit Sharma's Super Over Controversy Against Afghanistan

India’s 3–0 clean sweep against Afghanistan in the recent T20I series stirred up some controversy, particularly surrounding the second super over in the third T20I. Rohit Sharma, returning to T20Is after 14 months along with Virat Kohli, played a pivotal role in India’s victory. However, the second super over raised eyebrows as Rohit returned to bat, sparking confusion about his status after the first super over.

In the initial super over, Rohit scored 14 runs before heading back to the dugout. According to the guidelines, a player declared out in the first super over cannot bat again in the second. Despite this, Rohit took the crease again, leading to speculations whether he was retired hurt or retired out.

AB de Villiers, the legendary South African batter, weighed in on the incident on his YouTube channel. De Villiers asserted that a player cannot bat again if declared out in the first super over, suggesting that it could be a fault in the broadcast or a scoring mistake.

“Double Super Over, unbelievable (smiles). You can’t bat again if you are declared out in the first super over. I think maybe they will claim that he was retired hurt due to an injury, and maybe it was a scoring mistake to show him out,” De Villiers remarked.

Shifting his focus, De Villiers praised Indian batter Rinku Singh, hailing him as a fantastic player and a consistent match-winner. He emphasized the importance of consistency in players like Singh to secure victories for the team.

“Rinku is a fantastic player, a match-winner, and it is good to see him become consistent as well. You need to be a consistent player who is always trying to win games for your team.”

Rinku Singh’s remarkable T20I performance, amassing 356 runs across 15 games and 11 innings at an average of 89.00 and a strike rate exceeding 176, has positioned him as a notable finisher for Team India.
