India’s former captain and attacking batter Virat Kohli has missed the five match Test series of England’s tour of India citing personal reasons. However, a recent source has claimed that Virat Kohli is expected to make a comeback in the upcoming 17 season of the Indian Premier league. 

There have been multiple reports claiming that Virat Kohli has missed the Test series against England due to personal reasons. Initially there were multiple reports claiming that Virat Kohli’s mother is not well however they were dismissed by his elder brother. 

Recently it was reported that the star player’s wife, the popular Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma is facing certain health issues which has forced Virat to stay out of Cricket and focus on his personal life.
