BCCI also said that they fully respect and support his decision, and the board has no issue with it. Initially, Kohli took a leave for the first two contests of the series against England, but now he won’t be available for the rest of the matches either due to personal reasons.
“Family is your Most Important priority,” says 40-year-old South African Bowling Star
Dale Steys has said that if Kohli wants to stay with her wife during her pregnancy, then there is nothing wrong with it. Family is your most important priority, and Kohli has also contributed everything to the country as a cricketer. Steys also mentioned his story of when his dog fell ill and rushed to the plane to see him; similarly, he understood the condition of India’s former captain and asserted his full support for Kohli’s decision to stay with his family.

He won a World Cup for the side and also played a vital role in India’s success in hundreds of matches. A few days ago, AB de Villiers also indicated that the second child of Virat Kohli is on the way, due to which he is not available for the initial few matches of the series.
Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul’s Presence in the Third Test is still a matter of Discussion
Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, who missed the second test of the series due to injuries, are expected to return in the third test. However, they will only get the chance to play if they clear the minimum fitness requirement. Fans are expecting Jadeja and Rahul to return as early as possible, as the upcoming game of the series is going to be very crucial for the team as the winning side will be able to take the lead in the series.

The absence of Kohli is also a big challenge for the Indian side, and due to this, everyone is expecting Jadeja and Rahul to get fit and ready for cricket as early as possible.
