Ex- Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Star AB de Villiers Apologises To Virat Kohli's Family

Former South African cricketer and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star AB de Villiers on Saturday tendered an apology to the Kohli family for his recent comments that breached their privacy. AB de Villiers said Virat Kohli is currently unavailable, and he urged everyone to respect his need for privacy during this time.

De Villiers added that family should always be a top priority, and the specifics of the situation are not known to us.

"Let's all show understanding and refrain from prying into their personal matters. If I made any errors in my previous statements, I offer my heartfelt apologies to the Kohli family," AB de Villiers, who has played a lot of cricket with Virat Kohli for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and is also a close friend to Indian batter.

"Just not nice. I shared information that was not confirmed at all so. I am begging everyone out there to respect him and his family and his private time. Hopefully, we will see Virat back, happy and scoring runs. Like he always does," de Villiers said after he made a U-turn from his previous statement on why Virat Kohli is not available for the Test series against England.

In his previous YouTube live, de Villiers said that he checked on Virat Kohli and he is doing fine.

"All I know is he is fine. He is spending a bit of time with his family, that is the reason he is missing the first two Test matches. I am not going to confirm anything else. I cannot wait to see him back. He is fine, he is happy," revealed AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel.
