Virat Kohli decision to miss the initial England Tests due to “personal reasons” sparked flurry of speculation, with the internet still buzzing with various theories. While the official reason remains private, a recent social media post claiming his mother’s health as the cause has added another layer of uncertainty.
It is to be noted that many initially linked Kohli’s absence to rumors surrounding alleged Anushka Sharma’s pregnancy. But contrary to the internet’s initial conjectures, a post on social media platform X has emerged, offering an alternative explanation. According to an account named Waleed bin Abdul Az, the real reason behind Kohli’s absence is his mother Saroj Kohli’s health.
The post claims that Kohli’s mother, Saroj Kohli, suffered a liver issue in September 2023 and was hospitalized at CK Birla Hospital in Gurgaon. While she managed to recover and Virat Kohli prioritized the World Cup at the time, the post suggests her condition is now more serious, necessitating his presence.
