de Villiers pleaded to the fans by saying, “My friend Virat Kohli is still not available. I cry out to everybody to give him the privacy that he deserves. Family comes first.

The RCB man was critical of his mistake and he added, “Just not nice. I shared information that was not confirmed at all. 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.”
