Virat Kohli son: Fans remember De Villiers after Kohli announces birth of second child
On his Youtube channel a few days ago, De Villiers had claimed that Kohli opted out of the series due to the impending arrival of his second child with actor wife Anushka Sharma. However, a day later, he back-tracked on that statement in an interaction with select media on the sidelines of the ongoing SA T20 league.
"Family comes first, it's priority as I said on my Youtube channel. I also made a terrible mistake at the same time, sharing false information that was not true at all," de Villiers said.
"I just think that whatever is best for Virat and his family comes first, no one knows what's happening there. All I can do is wish him well. Whatever the reason is for this break, I really hope he comes back stronger and better, healthy and fresh and ready to take on the world," he added.
