"If Virat Kohli Has Decided" Dale Steyn Sends A Clear Verdict On The Absence Of Virat Kohli

Dale Steyn Sends A Clear Verdict On The Absence Of Virat Kohli – Virat Kohli stands as a monumental figure in Indian cricket, signalling excellence with his bat across all formats. As a batter, his impact goes above  statistical milestones; his contributions display the essence of class, adaptability, and unmatched skill. In Test cricket, his technique is a blend of classical elegance and modern aggression, anchoring innings with unwavering determination. In ODIs, he redefines run-chasing, orchestrating victories with his masterful strokeplay under pressure. T20s witness his innovation and dynamism, setting the tempo with audacious strokes and astute captaincy. Beyond the numbers, Kohli embodies leadership, inspiring teammates with his relentless pursuit of perfection and leading by example. His ability to thrive in diverse conditions and against varied bowling attacks cements his status as a pivotal figure, ensuring his legacy as one of India’s greatest batters of all time.

As anticipation built for the 5-match Test series against England, the fans received unexpected news from the BCCI: Virat Kohli, will be absent from the first two Tests due to personal reasons, with a request for privacy from the cricketing fraternity. Recent developments suggest that Kohli’s absence may extend beyond the initial matches, potentially impacting the remainder of the series.

Speculation intensified after former South African cricketer AB de Villiers confirmed rumors circulating that Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their second child. This revelation adds depth to the understanding of Kohli’s decision to prioritize family commitments, shedding light on the personal journey intertwining with his professional responsibilities.

Dale Steyn Sends A Clear Verdict On The Absence Of Virat Kohli

Dale Steyn’s recent comment about Virat Kohli emphasizes the importance of family over professional commitments. Steyn made this statement in response to Kohli’s decision to take the break. Steyn highlighted the significance of family by recounting his personal experience of prioritizing his dogs over his professional engagements. He mentioned that when one of his dogs fell ill, he immediately left the Indian Premier League (IPL) and flew back home to be with his pet. This anecdote illustrates Steyn’s belief that family, whether human or animal, should take precedence over career obligations.

He said: “Family is your most important priority. Sorry, that’s it. That’s the end of the story right there. I’ve got three dogs and when one of them got sick, I was out of the IPL. I was jumping on the plane out of there to come back and see my dog. So that’s my family.” 

He added: “If Virat Kohli has decided to sit back home because he wants to be with his wife, if he’s going to have his second child, I don’t see any problem with that. He’s been a servant of India for many years. He’s won a World Cup; he’s captained with success. I don’t know what more a man can do to prove himself in the cricketing world.

I think at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter about cricket. What matters is why you’re playing and who helped you get there. The people behind you or behind the scenes, are the ones the public doesn’t see. Your partner, your mother, your wife, your sister… those are the people that are constantly picking you up and if it means that their health is in jeopardy or something is wrong with them, you go to them and that’s the most important thing.”
