New Delhi : India batting star Virat Kohli is reportedly set to miss the upcoming ODI series against the Afghanistan national cricket team after sustaining a hamstring injury during training. According to media reports, the injury is not considered serious, but the team management is unwilling to risk the veteran batter ahead of a packed international schedule. Medical staff are expected to monitor Kohli’s recovery closely before making a final decision on his return. The absence of Kohli would be a significant setback for India, given his experience and consistent performances in the 50-over format. His potential unavailability could provide an opportunity for younger batters to stake their claim in the squad.

The ODI series against Afghanistan is seen as an important part of India’s preparations for upcoming international assignments. Team selectors are likely to announce a replacement if Kohli is officially ruled out. While neither the Board of Control for Cricket in India nor Kohli has issued an official statement, reports suggest the former India captain is focusing on rehabilitation and recovery. Indian fans will be hoping the star batter regains full fitness soon and returns to action ahead of the team’s major commitments later this year.
