"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.
