Kohli’s absence is linked to significant personal commitments, including the expected arrival of his second child with his wife, Anushka Sharma. This period is crucial for him to be with his family, as confirmed by close friend and former cricketer AB de Villiers. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has supported his decision, acknowledging the importance of his personal obligations.

This extended break presents a challenge for the Indian team, which will miss Kohli’s experience and leadership. However, there is hope with players like KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja recovering from injuries and potentially filling the gap left by Kohli.
