AB de Villiers trends in India after Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma blessed with baby Akaay

De Villiers had revealed that personal why Kohli was missing the England Tests was Anushka's pregnancy.

India cricketer Virat Kohli and his wife actress Anushka Sharma were blessed with their second child on February 15, 2024. The announcement of the arrival of baby boy Akaay was made by Kohli and Anushka on social media on February 20, 2024.

As soon as Virat Kohli announced the news of becoming a father for the second time, former South Africa captain AB de Villiers started trending on X. After all, De Villiers was the first to formally declare the cause for Kohli's absence from the India-England Test series.

During a YouTube session, the great South African cricketer revealed that the pregnancy of his wife Anushka Sharma was the personal reason for Kohli's absence from the entire five-match Test series against England.

The news went viral instantaneously, and the reaction was astounding. Above all, it rendered Kohli's efforts to keep the story under wraps ineffective. De Villiers, Kohli's longtime friend and former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) colleague, withdrew the statement and apologized publicly a few days later.

"My friend Virat Kohli is still not available. I cry out to everybody to give him the privacy that he deserves. Family comes first. No one knows what exactly is going on. I am asking all of us to respect that. I did a bit of a blunder in my previous show and I apologise to the Kohli family for that," he said on his YouTube channel.

"Just not nice. I shared information that was not confirmed at all. I am begging everyone out there to respect him and his family and his private time. Hopefully, we will see Virat back, happy and scoring runs. Like he always does,” he added.
