The Indian cricket team has arrived in Thiruvananthapuram, but there has been a noticeable absence, leading to speculation from the public. The administration of the Indian squad has given star batter Virat Kohli, a crucial member, permission to take time off due to a personal issue. He hurriedly flew from Guwahati to Mumbai, and it’s expected that he’ll reunite with the group in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday. According to media rumors, Kohli and his Bollywood star wife, Anushka Sharma, may be expecting their second child after the birth of their daughter Vamika three years ago.
Assuring fans that he will soon rejoin the team, a dependable source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed Virat Kohli leave for personal reasons. The rest of the team traveled to the lovely city of Kerala on a four-hour flight on a specially prepared plane on Sunday night.

As the 2023 World Cup approaches, rain is becoming a spoiled sport.
Unfavorable weather, which is lingering from the far east to the southern region, seems to be following the team as they travel to Thiruvananthapuram for their second warm-up match against the Netherlands. There were some concerns that the upcoming encounter would suffer a similar fate after the initial practice match against the current world champions England ended in a washout with not a single delivery being bowled.
Two of the three games that have been affected by rain so far have taken place in Thiruvananthapuram, notably the match between South Africa and Afghanistan on September 29. The match between Australia and the Netherlands on September 30 was cut short to a 23-over match, however it was unable to be completed. Meanwhile, the match between South Africa and New Zealand is scheduled for Monday, setting the scenario for India’s match against the Netherlands on Tuesday.
