Kohli's participation in Rajkot Test remains uncertain
India are all set to take on England in the third Test of the five-game series, starting on February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The hosts made it 1-1 winning the second game in Visakhapatnam. Notably, they did not have the services of Virat Kohli in the first two games as he withdrew from those couple of days before the Hyderabad Test citing personal reasons.
Earlier this week, former South Africa captain and Kohli's close friend AB de Villiers disclosed that the India batter and his wife Anushka Sharma were expecting a child. Given this, his participation in the third Test is still unclear as of right now. Apart from him, Jasprit Bumrah, the relentless match-winner in the Vizag Test is likely to be benched in the upcoming game. Meanwhile, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who were both sidelined for the second Test, are yet to recover from their injuries.
