Amidst increasing speculation about the health of Virat Kohli’s mother, Saroj Kohli, his elder brother, Vikas Kohli, took to social media to provide a much-needed update, putting a stop to all rumors.
The cricketing world had been abuzz with conjectures regarding Virat Kohli’s absence from the first two Tests against England, with some suggesting that the star batsman had taken a break due to his mother’s alleged critical condition.
However, Vikas Kohli took to Instagram assuring concerned fans and followers that his mother is in good health.
In a post on his Instagram story, Vikas Kohli addressed the rumors head-on, stating, “”I have noticed that there is this fake news about our mom’s health been circulating around. Let me clear that our mom is absolutely fit and fine. Also I would request everyone and also the media, not to spread such news without proper information. Thanks everyone for your concern,” Vikas wrote on his Instagram story.”
This clarification came as a relief to the cricketing community, who had been eager to learn the truth behind Virat Kohli’s unexpected break from the Test matches.
While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had earlier emphasized the importance of respecting Kohli’s privacy and refraining from speculation, Vikas Kohli’s direct update put any lingering doubts to rest.
The Kohli family’s close-knit relationship has been well-documented, with Virat often expressing his deep bond with his mother, who played a pivotal role in shaping his illustrious cricketing career.
Saroj Kohli’s well-being has always been of significance to Virat, making the rumors particularly distressing for fans.
Despite Vikas Kohli’s categorical denial of any health concerns regarding their mother, Virat Kohli has not provided a specific timeline for his return to the national team.
His absence was noticeable in the opening Test against England, where India suffered a 28-run defeat in Hyderabad.
As cricket enthusiasts await further updates on Virat Kohli’s return, Vikas Kohli’s clear and reassuring statement serves as a reminder to exercise caution in disseminating unverified information and respect the privacy of the players and their families.
The focus now shifts back to the cricket field, with fans eagerly anticipating Virat Kohli’s return when he is ready to resume his role in the national squad.
