Shubman Gill Provides Update on Virat Kohli’s Injury Ahead of 2nd ODI 

In the first ODI match against England, India emerged victorious by four wickets. The team defeated a difficult opponent despite one of the players failing to participate in the game. Famous batter Virat Kohli suffered a swelling knee in training on Wednesday and was forced to miss the first round of the three-match clash.

Gill Played Instead of Kohli at No. 3 Position 

Over the many years of his illustrious career, Kohli has rarely been injured. Hence, the knee situation has alarmed the fans. India’s first match at the Champions Trophy is fewer and fewer days away, as it will start on February 20. So, everyone is eagerly waiting for Virat’s return to the lineup.

Before the first ODI clash, Kohli had a heavy strap on his right knee. He was undergoing a late fitness test to prove his readiness to play. But India’s medics did not recommend him for the match. So Shubman Gill took the No. 3 position, and Yashasvi Jaiswal debuted in the ODI format. Gill proved his versatility and high level of play in a crucial 87-run innings, one of the most essential factors in India’s victory.

Kohli Status Updates 

Shubman Gill was adjudged the best player in the first match against the Three Lions. In a commentary after the game, he revealed that Kohli had no discomfort during the training. But on the morning of the match day, he found swelling in his right knee. But there is no reason to worry about, as believes Gill, Virat will definitely be back for the second match.

This information has reassured the Indian fans a bit. They have high hopes for the team’s performance at the upcoming Champions Trophy. Virat Kohli’s participation significantly increases the team’s chances of success and returning to the status of a dominant force in international cricket.
