Vizag: India has already lost the first Test against England and are trailing in the ongoing five-match Test series. With Virat Kohli missing, problems have mounted for the hosts as Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are set to miss the second Test. What is now concerning for the hosts is will Kohli return for the remaining three Tests. While the reason for Kohli’s absence is not known, a report in Cricbuzz suggests that the former India captain is abroad and his return to the side could be further delayed. Nothing can be confirmed as of now on Kohli’s availability.
Initially, one guessed that Kohli may have taken the break because his wife Anushka Sharma is pregnant, but that news was quashed soon. Then a few social media users reckoned that Kohli’s mother is not well and that is why he is missing the Test matches. This news, too, was dismissed as ‘fake news’ by Virat’s elder brother Vikas Kohli.
Following Rahul’s injury, BCCI announced uncapped Sarfaraz as a replacement. However, Patidar has been with the Indian squad before the first Test after Virat Kohli opted himself out of the first two games citing personal reasons.
