Ever since the birth of his daughter in January 2021, Kohli has prioritized his family and taken regular breaks to spend time with his loved ones. He skipped the last three Tests of the four-match series against Australia in 2020-21 to return home for the birth of Vamika. The Delhi-born cricketer further skipped the ongoing series against England to be with his family during the birth of his baby boy.

Despite being on the sidelines, Kohli congratulated the team for the series after they took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series with a five-wicket win in Ranchi. The former captain lauded the youngsters for their grit and determination in the absence of several senior players.

“YES!!! Phenomenal series win by our young team. Showed grit, determination and resilience. @BCCI,” wrote Kohli on his X account.

India chase down 192 to win the series 3-1

Notably, India were set a target of 192 in the fourth innings to seal the series and were 40/0 at stumps on Day 3. Openers Rohit Sharma (55 off 81) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (37 off 44) got their team off to a great start adding 84 runs for the first wicket. However, after a good start, India succumbed to 120/5 needing another 72 runs to win.
