AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli share a close bond. AB de Villiers last week said that the India star batter and Anushka Sharma’s “second child is on the way“. His statement spread like fire as social media was flooded with speculations amongst the fans.
A day after making his statement, AB de Villiers took a U-Turn and said “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.”
Now, in an YouTube live, the South Africa great has apologised to the Kohli family. “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 bit of a blunder in my previous show and I apologise to the Kohli family for that,” AB de Villiers said in an YouTube Live.
AB de Villiers also hoped that Virat Kohli would soon return to the cricketing field and score runs. “Just not nice. I shared information that was not confirmed at all so. 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.
