Virat Kohli’s much-anticipated return has been delayed as the former India skipper is expected to miss the upcoming Test matches against England. Former India skipper Kohli was unavailable for the first two Tests against England due to personal reasons. Kohli-less Team India suffered a defeat in the Hyderabad opener before the hosts levelled the series 1-1 with a win over England in the Visakhapatnam encounter on Monday.
As per the latest developments, Kohli will remain unavailable for the 3rd and 4th Tests against Ben Stokes’ England. According to a report filed by ESPNCricinfo, it has been learned that Kohli will miss the Rajkot and Ranchi Tests. With Kohli missing the first two games of the five-match Test series, India drafted Rajat Patidar as the batting replacement for the former India skipper. Rohit Sharma’s Team India also missed the services of veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and ex-vice-captain KL Rahul in the 2nd Test against England.
