Kohli chacha knew he is never gonna get once in a life time opportunity like last aus series and he has exploited it till now. He got an opportunity here to skip out and leveraging it, isn't it the same Kohli who keep playing Ranji sf or final when his dad's expired. I mean definitely family comes first but here he is going to be father and I know there are enough people in his and Anushka family to take care of Anushka. We worship these cricketers like warrior but they are no heroes compare this situation with our soldiers many of them sacrificed their Life without being seen their first born and no body even remember one name.

Kohli or no Kohli, we were gonna get thrashed either ways.

 

Although, personally I believe BCCI should try their best to get him to play atleast the 4th test (considering 14 days quaratine period if he gets back to Aus by 2nd Jan).

Updates - India’s Tour of Australia

 

The All-India Senior Selection Committee met on Sunday to pick certain replacements after receiving injury reports and updates from the BCCI Medical Team.

 

1. Mr Virat Kohli – At the selection committee meeting held on October 26th, 2020, Mr Virat Kohli had informed the BCCI about his plans to return to India after the first Test in Adelaide. The BCCI has granted paternity leave to the Indian captain. He will return after the first Test against Australia in Adelaide.

 

2. Mr Rohit Sharma - The BCCI Medical Team has been monitoring Rohit Sharma’s fitness and has briefed All-India Senior Selection Committee on the same.

• So rahane will captain remaining test matches in Aus , chalo bali ka bakra mila anyways his form isnt great 
• A spinner replaced by a fast bowler, nyways natrajan deserves it

 

I have a feeling this Aussie tour will be a disaster 

[Nonbeliever]

Would have been a difficult decision in case of srilanka.

[express bowling]

Who is going to Australia in place of Nagarkoti ?

[Austin 3:!6]

So what should be the playing XI when Kohli is not around?

 

I would go with the below (assuming Rohit is not fit):

 

Mayank

Gill

Pujara

Rahul

Rahane

Vihary

Pant

Ashwin

Shami

Bumrah

Ishant

 

[Serpico]

in a way this is good.

 

iyer and pandey can't hide behind top order now.. kohli isn't in his best form and dhawan always sucked in t20Is.

 

Hopefully Aussies play their full strength bowling attack in t20I series and we can see what our middle order is really capable of

[Gambit]

3 test absence is a bit much for the captain and best batsman. This is taking the mick.

Absolutely disagree with you, infact I think it's a post in poor taste. A cricketer putting his family over sport is purely a personal decision & should be respected either ways. 

[Rasgulla]

Does he have that passion anymore for Cricket and India I wonder! Things changed after Marriage I guess... 

 

This is sad

I think its due to quarantine rules. He cant come back to India and then fly to Australia.

Isn't it same Kohli who kept playing inspite of his father demise. I have no issues if someone putting family before profession I also do the same. Only issue is if it gives sense of chickening out.

Not clearly mentioned about his fitness,is he injured ? don't know whether he is on the radar so much so that his workload been managed

[Cricketics]

Any comments on Kohli's paternity leave will look cheap at this time, so I will refrain from that but I just hope he is not missing more than 1 test and is able to return back on tour. Mitchell Starc has also vouched for less quarantine time, so may be quarantine time is relaxed by the time 3rd test is on display. I doubt it will happen though since it is a government decision. Anyways, not a great news for Indian test team.

I don't think he is chickening out, he has the right to choose his priorities. 

[Lone Wolf]

Doesn't matter we don't need him.  This panauti's absence may be blessing in disguise for India.
