Virat Kohli’s decision to leave the Australia tour after the first Test to be present for the birth of his first child had been praised by Australia’s Steve Smith, but not everybody has approved of the move. Former India cricketer Dilip Doshi said Kohli is “deserting a sinking ship” and that he himself would not have gone because “national duty” should come before anything else.
“To me, captaining India would be the prime-most thing on my mind. It’s a sinking ship. This is the time when they need their captain the most. If you leave at this time, you are leaving the side to your deputy with a lot of questions unanswered. I only hope and pray that the team shows enough character to come out of this,” Doshi said on a Facebook Live session on Sportskeeda
