Virat Kohli’s absence from IND vs ENG Test
Virat Kohli has been absent from the ongoing India vs England Test series for quite some time now due to personal reasons. Initially, BCCI did not disclose the nature of these reasons. Kohli had practiced with the team before the first Test in Hyderabad, but it was later announced that he would not be participating in the first two Tests. The Board of Control for Cricket in India requested privacy for Kohli. Subsequently, it was confirmed that he would also miss the final Three Tests.
Kohli and his wife Anushka took to social media on February 20 to announce the arrival of their second child, a baby boy named Akaay. This explained why Kohli was missing from the Test series squad.

On being asked if Kohli would be hungry for runs in IPL 2024, given the amount of time he has spent away from the ground, Gavaskar gave a cheeky reply, “Kya woh khelenge... kuchh reason ke liye khel nahin rahe hain, shaayad ho sakta hai ke IPL ke liye bhi na khele (Will he play... He is not playing because of some reason, perhaps he may not play in IPL as well).”
