Months ahead of the Australian tour, the local media has once again looked to take a cheeky dig at India skipper Virat Kohli but it has not landed well. Kohli – who is currently in UAE for the upcoming season of the IPL – took to his social media and made the announcement that he is going to be a father soon – in January 2021.

“Australian cricket will be ‘holding their breath’ as the availability of Kohli for the tour already coming under question. The tour itself starts in what is set to the third trimester,” the report read.
Reportedly, India will play the limited-overs series first and then will face the hosts in a four-match Test series, starting November after the IPL – which ends on the 10th. The new schedule is slated to be out soon.
