Indian cricket fans had a bit of a scare when Virat Kohli got injured just days before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. During a practice session in Perth, Kohli picked up a knock and had to go for scans. Naturally, it got everyone worried about whether he’d be fit to play the first Test.
Virat Kohli Back on the Field
The injury happened on November 15, while Kohli was practicing at the WACA. Known for his amazing record in Australia—1,352 runs with six centuries—Kohli had to step away briefly for medical checks. Thankfully, it wasn’t serious, and he was back on the field soon after. Seeing him rejoin practice was a big relief for his fans and teammates.
Kohli’s fitness is super important for India, especially since he’s had a dip in form recently. But with all his experience in Australian conditions, he’s expected to play a huge role in this series, which is key for India’s World Test Championship hopes.
KL Rahul Also in the Wars
It wasn’t just Virat Kohli who had a rough day. KL Rahul, set to open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, also got injured during practice. A nasty ball hit him on the elbow, and he had to leave for treatment. Thankfully, Rahul’s fine now and should be good to go for the first Test.
With the series just around the corner, fans can’t wait to see Kohli back in action. His past performances in Australia, especially the insane 692 runs he scored during the 2014-15 tour, prove he can shine on those bouncy pitches. If Kohli and the team can stay fit, this series promises to be a cracker!
