Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma's second child is on the way, says AB de Villiers

Mumbai/IBNS: India's cricket icon Virat Kohli had withdrawn himself from the first two Tests against England citing personal reasons, giving pace to the speculations over him and his actress wife Anushka Sharma expecting their second child.

Though the couple have kept the entire matter private if at all, former South African cricket great and Kohli's friend, AB de Villiers, spilled the beans on a YouTube live session.

Referring to a text message he exchanged with Kohli, AB spoke about the Indian batter skipping the first two Tests and went on to say the celebrity couple are expecting their second child.

"His second child is on the way. It's family time," the former South African cricketer said and added, "I think most people's priority is family. You cannot judge Virat for that. Yes, we miss him but he has made the right decision."

The speculation started after Anushka kept herself low profile for some time. In an unfamiliar scene, she also missed attending several of India's matches.

Months ago, a news report had claimed Anushka and Virat had visited a maternity clinic and she asked the paparazzi not to publish their pictures.

Anushka and Virat, a powerful celebrity couple in India, tied their nuptial knot at a private ceremony in Italy in 2017. The couple were blessed with a baby girl in 2021.

On the work front, Anushka will next feature in Chakda Xpress.
