After India's defeat in the second test match against South Africa, now the big news is coming out about the injured captain Virat Kohli. Team India coach Rahul Dravid has given a big update about Virat's fitness in the press conference, after which the chances of Virat's return to the team in the third Test have increased.
Captain Virat Kohli was ruled out of Team India in the second Test due to injury. KL Rahul took over the command of the team. India lost this match by 7 wickets. Now the series between the two teams is tied at 1-1.
Dravid said during the press conference, 'The way Kohli is practicing in the nets, he looks fit. Though I haven't discussed it with the physio so far, what I hear and what I feel from having conversations with Kohli suggests that the Indian Test captain is fit.
Johannesburg Test not played due to back stiffness
Virat Kohli could not play in the second test due to stiffness in the back. A few minutes before the toss, the news of Virat's exit from this match came to the fore. KL Rahul came for the toss in his place. Rahul told that Kohli has been ruled out of this test due to stiffness in the upper back.
Dravid's statement clearly shows that Virat Kohli can return in the third and last Test of the series to be played in Cape Town.
India's first defeat in Johannesburg
This is the Indian team's first defeat in 29 years at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Team India played the first Test at this ground in the year 1992. That match was a draw. Before this match, India had won two of the five-Test matches played here, while three matches were drawn. In 29 years, the South African team had never been able to beat the Indian team, but on Thursday, the series was broken.
In the absence of unfit Virat Kohli, Rahul was captained for the first time and he had to face defeat in this match.
This is Rahul Dravid's first defeat as a coach. The lack of enthusiasm in the bowlers was visible due to Kohli's absence. At the same time, there was no edge in the captaincy of Rahul. If Kohli makes a comeback in the third Test, then Team India would like to win this Test match and win the Test series on African soil for the first time.
