Virat Kohli And His Private Life Have To…”: England Great’s Strong Stance On India Star’s Absence

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain backed Virat Kohli’s decision to prioritise his private life but believes that his absence will be a big “blow” for India. According to ESPNcricinfo, Virat who was absent from the first two Tests against England will miss the third and fourth Test matches against England in Rajkot and Ranchi. Nasser hailed Kohli for the contribution that he has made in his career which has spanned over 15 years and feels that any team would miss the presence of a batter who has a stature like the 35-year-old.

“Virat Kohli is one of the greatest batters ever to play the game and any series and any side will miss someone of the stature of Kohli. The game needs to look after the likes of Kohli as well. He has been playing international cricket for more than 15 years now and if he needs a break to be away with family just some time away from the game we wish Virat Kohli all the best. It means we don’t have the mouthwatering possibility of an Anderson-Kohli contest that we have seen over the years so be it,” Hussain told Sky Sports.
