Virat Kohli injury woes: Four matches India’s star batter missed out due to injuries
Ace batter Virat Kohli was ruled out of India’s first ODI against England in Nagpur on Thursday due to a knee injury, marking a rare instance of him missing a game due to fitness concerns.
Kohli missed the final Test of the 2017 Border-Gavaskar series after sustaining a shoulder injury during the Ranchi Test.
Ajinkya Rahane stepped in as captain and led India to victory in the Dharamshala Test, sealing the series win.
In 2018, Kohli missed another series decider, this time in the T20I clash against South Africa in Cape Town, due to a stiff back. Rohit Sharma took over as captain and guided India to a series victory.
In 2022, Kohli missed the second Test against South Africa in Johannesburg due to an upper back spasm. KL Rahul stepped in as captain, but India fell short as the host secured a seven-wicket win.
