An increasing if embarrassing trend over the past 30 years or so is that of national sportsmen excusing themselves to be with their wives for the births of kids. Children were born to sportsmen even before that period and they did have the opportunity to excuse themselves if they wanted to but they rarely did.
Virat Kohli returning from Oz after T1 virtually means that he's going for some white and pink-ball cricket. He should opt out from even that T1 and give someone else the chance of play a full series.
What a laugh!
Being a cricketer is a job not a passion as in the good old days.I respectfully disagree in that this isn't just another job; one is representing his nation. IMO, if you or your next of kin aren't ill or injured, you should carry on. Would anyone be pleased if his country's UN representative goes away for a comparable leave on the eve of a major debate? No, so why should this be too different?

I assume you aren't a father, because if you were, you'd know thatWas there when my elder son was born but was on travel when the younger chap came along, and therefore reached a couple of days later. Again, I'm an individual who isn't representing my country in any way.
watching on TV is no substitute for holding your baby's mother's hand
while she gives birth - particularly for the mother.
I'm sure you'll get enthusiastic support from the imbecileSince he knows the colour of my skin, I quite doubt it ;)

And in any event, in this virtual day and age of technology, short of holding the child, you can see and enjoy its company from afar for a few weeks ere doing it all in the flesh.

I agree about the backup because one can be injured. In this case, since this is VK's first child, if he did want to be there, he should've opted out of selection for the Tests, knowing that the expected date of the birth would clash with the Test schedule.
In the current scenario, mobilising someone else, given the bio bubbles, is all the more difficult, not to mention the distance between India and Oz. >

Nothing like being at the birth of your child in my experience.

the better. Having said that, it's certainly a big blow to India's
chances of winning the series, which is very unfortunate.

What a laugh!It's unfortunate that he'll have to miss three Tests rather than just
one, which would probably have been the case pre Covid-19.
