As the news was shared by BCCI, many came out loud to laud Kohli’s concern and his decision to be with his wife for their special day.

However, there was also a section of society that questioned Kohli’s plans and compared him with Dhoni, who, back in 2015, while leading India in the World Cup in Australia, had not taken a leave when his wife Sakshi was expecting.

For the unaware, Ziva Dhoni was born on 6th February 2015, which was two days ahead of India’s final warm-up game against Australia.

Back then, when Dhoni was asked if he missed being in India during his birth of his first child, he had said: “As of now I am on national duties so I think everything else can wait. The World Cup is a very important campaign.”

Meanwhile obviously, there was another section of people too, which came out in support of Kohli reminding others that at Dhoni’s time, it was the World Cup on the cards and this is just a series.
