Speculation surrounding Anushka Sharma’s second pregnancy has been put to rest as cricket star AB de Villiers recently confirmed the news, shedding light on Virat Kohli’s absence from the initial two Tests against England.
Despite no official announcement from the couple, sightings of Anushka with a noticeable baby bump fueled rumors, with de Villiers adding weight to the speculation during a discussion on his YouTube channel.
Addressing Kohli’s absence, de Villiers revealed that the cricketer had opted to prioritize family time, affirming,
All I know is he is fine. He is spending some quality time with his family, and that is the reason he is missing the initial two Test matches.
De Villiers elaborated on the significance of family in Kohli’s life, confirming the impending arrival of their second child as a crucial factor in his decision-making process. “Yes, his second child is on the way. Family time is crucial to him. If you are not true and genuine to yourself, you lose track of what you are here for. I think most people’s priority is family,” de Villiers emphasized.

Rumors about Anushka’s pregnancy began circulating in November 2023 during the ICC World Cup, gaining traction after her appearance at a Diwali event in Bengaluru before Team India’s match against the Netherlands. An advertisement for a pregnancy kit posted by Anushka in December further fueled speculation, eliciting a flood of congratulatory messages from fans.
The couple, who welcomed their first child, daughter Vamika, on January 11, 2021, has maintained a steadfast commitment to protecting their family’s privacy. Both Virat and Anushka have refrained from revealing Vamika’s face and actively discouraged paparazzi from capturing her pictures.
As anticipation builds for the arrival of their second child, fans eagerly await any official announcement from the couple while respecting their desire for privacy during this special time.
