“¿Quién saldrá?” – El Virat Kohli reemplazó a India por Hidi “Ang 2ndd

The stage is set for the IND vs ENG 2nd ODI at Cuttack. But it is good news for the India Cricket Team as ace batter Virat Kohli is set to be back. But now the question arises, who would Kohli replace in the India Playing XI? Former India opener Aakash Chopra claimed this would mean Shreyas Iyer missing out on his place in the team.

Virat Kohli missed out on the previous game at Nagpur with a right knee injury. As a result, Shreyas Iyer got his place in the team. Iyer later revealed that the night before the game he got to know from Rohit that he would be playing the game. Iyer was brilliant with the bat, notching up a fifty from just 30 deliveries.

Where will Shubman Play?

Kohli fit, Kohli in, but who goes out? That’s the big question because if Kohli had been fit in the last match, Shreyas Iyer wouldn’t have played. It means the team’s game plan was to have Yashasvi with Rohit (Sharma), a left-right combination. So where would (Shubman) Gill have played and what will they do now?” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra went on to reveal India’s game plan. He said that Rohit and Yashasvi opening meant a right-left-handed combination. Kohli obviously takes his preferred 3rd spot. This raises the question where would Shubman Gill play in the Indian Playing XI?

Aakash Chopra further claimed that Kohli missing out on the previous game will surely hurt. He also claimed that it was a rare occasion where Kohli missed a game due to injury as he remains fit most of the time. Previously, Kohli missed out on a Ranji Trophy match owing to a neck sprain.

“Virat Kohli not playing in the last match hurt you a little as he never misses matches because of fitness. He is very rarely unfit. He had a neck issue in January, and that’s why he didn’t play the Ranji Trophy match against Saurashtra. After that, something happened in his knee when he was about to play here,” Chopra added.
