Kohli requested the team management for leave and left for Mumbai from Guwahati, where India is currently playing a warm-up match against the Netherlands. He is expected to return on Monday. A source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the development to Cricbuzz.
The timing of Kohli's departure has led to speculation that it may be related to Sharma's pregnancy. However, the BCCI has not released any official statement on the matter.
As per reports, the BCCI is confident that he will be back in time for the start of the ICC World Cup 2023 on October 8.

Like the last time, they will formally share the news with the world at a later stage,” a source told the portal.
