Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are indeed going to be parents for the second time, cricketer AB de Villiers confirms

Rumours have been doing the rounds since the latter half of 2023 that power couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are expecting their second child. There were some spottings of the actress wherein she was almost seen trying to hide a baby bump. While excited fans wished to know whether there was any truth to these speculations, now cricketer AB de Villiers who also shares a close bond with Kohli has confirmed the same.

In a recent interview with a YouTube channel, the former South African cricketer said that he checked on Virat after the latter withdrew from the first two Tests of the ongoing 5-Match series between India and England. However, apart from this, he also confirmed that Virat will be a father again because of which he is spending more time with his family. Villiers appreciated Kohli since the latter is prioritizing his family now.

Withdrawing from the first two Tests, Virat took to his social media handle to request fans not to speculate the reason behind his decision. In the statement, he cited personal reasons for doing so. Villiers was heard saying in the interview, “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 doing well.” Villiers also checked his text message with Kohli during the interview. He added, “Let me just see what he said. I just want to at least give you (fans) a little bit of love. So I wrote to him 'Been wanting to check in with you (sic) for a while now biscuits. How are you?'. He said 'Just need to be with my family right now. I am doing well. 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 absolutely the right decision.”
