Hi guys... will quickly share something.

Last night when I tweeted I had heard something controversial but couldn't share, it was because of the following reasons:

1) I heard Rohit won't play Tests & Virat won't play ODIs. You can imagine how shocked I was.

Cont'd...

2) It was too late at night to cross-check. And unless I could cross-check I couldn't share. Honestly, I didn't know reasons.

3) But most of you'll have guessed it right anyway... -- Rohit won't play Tests (which everyone knows). NEWS: Virat will not play the ODIs.

Cont'd

4) Today evening it was public Rohit won't play Tests because he's pulled his hamstring (not a tear). So he'll be fit in time to play ODIs.

5) Virat, meanwhile, has planned a holiday with family, so he won't play the ODIs. Remember, it's his child's 1st birthday month.

Cont'd

So, both have their priorities sorted. I didn't want to alarm you'll the way I did.

Is this deliberate? I'll do another tweet thread.

But that said, support your cricketers & DON'T ABUSE them & their fans. It's not cool. Be respectful of people's choices.

Cheers (ends)

I'm only assuming Virat is taking a break because the month is special for the family. Nobody has confirmed it to me if that IS the reason.

But fact is, it is a special month for him. All the love to his family and baby.

(Reminder: BE RESPECTFUL...)
