Rajkumar Sharma Breaks Silence on Virat Kohli's Fitness Situation
Virat Kohli's childhood coach has finally talked about his fitness. Kohli is likely to miss out on the ODI series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury. But Rajkumar Sharma opened up about the same, saying that they haven't talked about the injury in recent times.
There may be some positive news coming up for the Indian fans who are waiting to see Virat Kohli in the ODI series against Afghanistan. Kohli is likely to miss out on the series, as it is being claimed that he suffered with a hamstring injury. This incident happened in the IPL final, where he was seen in pain while playing a match winning knock.
Now reports have claimed that the injury could rule Virat Kohli out of the ODI series against Afghanistan. With the series being just one week away, there is no official announcement for the same. It is expected that the BCCI will inform about Kohli's availability on 6 June, when it announces the squad for series against England and Ireland.
Amidst all this, Virat Kohli's childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma has talked about his injury. In an interview, he said, “We haven't talked about any injury related things. He is India's fittest cricketer. This is the first time he has picked up any injury. He gave the fitness mantra to the Country not just the cricket fraternity but the whole country.”
Our Take
The availability of Virat Kohli still remains a question, but it will be known to the fans in a few hours. Ruturaj Gaikwad is likely to replace Virat Kohli for this series if Kohli is unavailable, but Gaikwad is also a part of India A team against Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A. He was spotted in Sri Lanka with the India A team, as it remains to be seen whether Kohli will play the series or not.
