Aus vs Ind: Unfair To Blame Kohli For Being With His Family, Says Farokh Engineer

By IANS News January 02, 2021 • 11:58 AM View: 2091

India captain Virat Kohli's decision to go back home after the first Test against Australia to be with his wife for the birth of their first child is "not too unfair", says legendary former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer.

Kohli's decision was met with polarised responses from the cricket community and by Indian cricket fans on social media when it was first made public before the start of the series. India's dismal performance in the first Test in Adelaide, where they lost by eight wickets after being shot out for their lowest ever score of 36, added further fuel to the negative opinions.
