“Today’s dismissal, that’s normally a delivery he would have left alone if he was in his best possible form,” Border said on Fox Cricket’s coverage. “I’m not sure what’s going on with Virat mentally [and] whether he’s just lost that edge.”

Kohli, who has 270 million Instagram followers, has always attempted to keep his family away from the public eye.

A report in the Indian Express last month highlighted as much.

“Celebrity couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli have always stayed tight-lipped about their personal lives, and have made it a point to keep their two children, Vamika and Akaay, away from the media’s glaring eye. It’s only on special occasions that they share glimpses into their daily lives,” the paper reported.

“Taking to her Instagram account on Tuesday, Anushka posted a picture of Virat playfully carrying Vamika and Akaay in his arms. She covered the kids’ faces with heart emojis. She captioned the post with a heart and evil eye emoji. The family appeared to be in London, which is where they’ve reportedly settled in recent months.”
