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,” De Villiers said on his YouTube channel.
He, however, later made a U-turn and apologised for sharing "false information" . Nonetheless, the news is now out that Kohli and Anushka have had their second child.
