Virat Kohli had flown back to India from Australia on paternity leave

In December 2020, Virat Kohli had opted to take paternity leave and fly back to India from Australia, where the Men in Blue were playing.

The star batsman had left after the team suffered an embarrassing loss against the hosts in the first Test in Adelaide.

In Virat Kohli’s absence, Ajinkya Rahane has been entrusted with the leadership role. Under his captaincy, India won the second Test in Melbourne and have managed to draw the third Test in Sydney.
