The three-match ODI series between India and England is starting from Tuesday. Before this series, Team India can get a big setback. Virat Kohli may be ruled out of the first ODI due to muscle strain. He got this injury during the third T20.
Injury was done in the 3rd T20:
A BCCI source told news agency PTI that Virat suffered a groin injury in the last match against England. It is not known whether he got this injury while batting or while fielding. Chances are to a large extent that Virat will not play in the first ODI. They need rest.
Didn’t go to London by team bus:
Kohli did not travel in the team bus after the third T20. He did not travel on the team bus from Nottingham to London. According to media reports, he did this keeping in mind the medical check-up. On Monday, only Shikhar Dhawan, Shardul Thakur and famous Krishna took part in a net session at the Oval in London.
There is a demand to drop the team:
Due to injury to Kohli, the squad selection for the five-match T20 series against West Indies may also be delayed. The team can be announced on Tuesday. Earlier, former greats like Kapil Dev and Virender Sehwag had raised questions over the inclusion of in-form Kohli in the T20 team in place of Deepak Hooda.
Captain Rohit has supported:
However, skipper Rohit Sharma backed Kohli after the third T20I. He had said that whether a player is capable or not, it cannot be judged on his performance in a couple of years. Kohli has scored a lot of runs and won matches for Team India for decades. In such a situation, they cannot be questioned on just a few performances.
Have sought rest from West Indies tour:
According to media reports, Virat Kohli has sought rest for the T20 series against West Indies. In such a situation, it will be a matter to be seen whether he is included in the squad after the poor performance against England. In two T20Is against England, Virat had scored one run and 11 runs. The ODI and T20 series against West Indies is starting from 22 July.
