At the toss, Rohit Sharma confirmed that Virat Kohli was ruled out of the 1st ODI on Tuesday. The Indian captain said, “Today is no different. We have five batters, two all-rounders. Kohli is not playing this game, Shreyas will bat at 3.”
“Virat has a groin strain during last game. It can’t be confirmed whether it happened during fielding or while batting. He will probably miss first ODI tomorrow at Oval as the groin needs rest,” a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
It has been learnt that Kohli didn’t travel from Nottingham to London in the team bus and the reason could be a stopover to get a medical check-up done to assess his condition.
This could also be the reason for the postponement of the Indian team selection for the five-match T20I series in the West Indies and the USA. The team will be announced on Tuesday.
