Reports: Virat Kohli will unavailable for 3rd and 4th Tests against England.

The star batsman, Virat Kohli, is set to extend his hiatus from international cricket, potentially missing the upcoming third and fourth Tests against England in Rajkot and Ranchi. Kohli had initially withdrawn from the first two Tests in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam due to personal reasons, with speculation surrounding his absence.

However, his brother clarified that their mother is well. Adding to the intrigue, Kohli’s close friend AB de Villiers hinted at Kohli expecting his second child, though neither Kohli nor his wife Anushka Sharma have commented on it

Meanwhile, injured players KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have made good progress in their rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, with one of them likely to be available for the third Test starting on February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.
