However, now the negotiations between the two have started again, which has brought relief to the de Villiers.
In fact, in early 2024, Virat Kohli took a break by citing personal reasons from the Test series against England in India.

This statement created panic on social media, but a few days later de Villiers apologized and said that their information was wrong. Later it turned out to be correct that Kohli and Anushka welcomed their son Akay on 15 February 2024, but this statement of de Villiers had questioned Kohli’s privacy at that time.
What did de Villiers say?
De Villiers recently told in a conversation with Cricket.com that after his mistake, Kohli did not contact him for several months. He said, ‘I have got a chance to talk to Kohli for the last six months. Thankfully! Because when he had accidentally shared the news of his second child’s expectation, I made a big mistake. De Villiers also told that Kohli recently discussed his decision to retire from Test cricket. He said, ‘We talked about this. We were in the same position, because I also retired in 2018. Kohli’s decision was also similar. De Villiers compared Kohli’s decision to his retirement, where both of them said goodbye to the game at the peak of their career.
