Virat Kohli Missing Australia Series For The Birth Of His Child Understandable, Missing The South Africa Series On A Whim Is Not Understandable – Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi

Well known Indian lawyer and Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi has questioned Virat Kohli’s move to skip the 3-match One Day Internationals series against South Africa due to personal reasons.

According to reports, Indian Test captain Kohli has already informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about his decision to not be part of the One Day Internationals series in the South Africa tour.

The reports from Times Of India suggests that Kohli will play all three Test games in South Africa tour and after that, he will be taking some time off to celebrate the first birthday of his daughter Vamika who was born on 11 January 2021 and he is planning a holiday with his family after the Test series.

The India tour of South Africa is set to begin from December 26 and it will consist of three Tests and as many as ODI matches. Also, the final Test will be played from January 11 to January 15 and the 3-match ODI series will proceed from January 19.

Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi Questions Virat Kohli’s Move To Opt Out Of South Africa Series

Singhvi took to Twitter to give his opinions on Kohli opting out of the South series and said that missing the Australia series for the birth of his child was acceptable but missing a series on a whim is not understandable. He stated:

“Kohli missing the Australia series for the birth of his child understandable. Kohli missing the South Africa series on a whim is not understandable. If you cannot treat your place in India’s test XI as premium then questions arise.”
