Former South Africa cricket captain AB de Villiers recently confirmed that Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli are expecting their second child. The couple was blessed with their first child, daughter Vamika, on January 11, 2021. However, AB de Villiers has now stated that he made a terrible mistake by sharing 'false information' about Anushka and Virat. The cricketer stated that the news he shared on his YouTube channel was not true at all.

In an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, AB de Villiers said family comes first as it is a priority. However, the cricketer stated, "I made a terrible mistake at the same time, sharing false information, which was not true at all." AB said that whatever is best for Virat's family comes first.

He added that no one knows what is happening and all he can do is wish the best for the Indian cricketer. Unaware of the reason for Virat's break, de Villiers hoped that Kohli would make a stronger comeback, better and fresh.
