A Pregnancy Guess Gone Wrong? Why AB de Villiers Regrets Speaking about Virat Kohli's Family

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India] June 15:  The IPL 2025 final was full of emotions. Royal Challengers Bengaluru finally lifted the trophy, and Virat Kohli hugged AB de Villiers after a long time. But not many knew that these two icons had not spoken for several months. AB recently shared that Virat had stopped talking to him after an incident in 2024. The silence had hurt him, but their reunion was heartwarming for many fans.

The 2024 Incident That Changed Things

In early 2024, Virat Kohli took a break from cricket, missing a big home series. AB, on his YouTube channel, said the break was due to his second child’s arrival. However, that was not yet public, and AB later said he had made a big mistake. He apologised, but by then, the damage was done. Kohli didn’t speak to him for months after that statement.

A Gentle Comeback and Honest Sharing

AB de Villiers said that Virat started talking to him again early this year. They spoke about cricket, personal stress, and how the game changes with age. AB felt happy to guide Virat through such times. He shared from the heart and told Virat that every decision must come from within. AB knew the pressure players face and was glad that their bond found its way back.

Mistakes Happen, So Do Mends

AB de Villiers said his words were not meant to harm but were simply his guess, which turned out wrong. He praised Virat for handling everything calmly and shared how relieved he felt when Virat spoke to him again. He also said that cricket comes second and that family is always first. The moment they hugged on the field showed that time had healed the past.

Why It Matters for Everyone

Fans often see only the matches and records, but behind that are real people with emotions. AB and Virat were always seen as cricket’s best buddies. It shows how friendships can go through tough phases. Still, if there is understanding, even big gaps can be filled again with warmth and honesty.
