According to a report by The Times of India, Virat Kohli's injury does not look that bad, and he will play for India in the second ODI vs England at the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack on February 9 (Sunday).

Absence of crucial Indian players in IND vs ENG ODIs has sparked worries about their availability and readiness for ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Returning to the 50-over format after the ODI World Cup 2023 and a long injury layoff, Indian pacer Mohd Shami looked well in rhythm and didn't show any signs of discomfort.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's form has been a matter of concern in recent months, while Mohammed Shami makes his return from long-term injury. Can they use their favourite format to play themselves back into confidence and the ability they possess?

Rohit Sharma revealed why Virat Kohli isn't featuring in the first ODI between India and England at VCA stadium in Nagpur.

India's hopes for the Champions Trophy lies on the form of their experienced players, who are battling to find their form of old. The first ODI vs England could give a strong indication of how they are faring.
