Kohli is out of the second Test against South Africa; Rahul captains the team
The second Test will be played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, and KL Rahul will lead India. Regular skipper Virat Kohli misses out due to an upper back spasm but is expected to be back for the series finale in Cape Town.
In the second Test, KL Rahul determined that India would bat and Jasprit Bumrah would be his deputy. Kohli’s physiotherapy is currently underway.
Sadly, Virat has had an upper back spasm, the physios are treating him to make sure he recovers for the next Test, he said.
Rahul, who won the man-of-the-match award in the first Test, has also been named captain for the ODI series against South Africa, while Rohit Sharma is still recovering.
Virat Kohli was replaced by Hanuma Vihari, according to KL Rahul. For a while now, Virat Kohli’s batting form has been under scrutiny, and in 14 matches, he has amassed just 652 runs at an average of 26.08. He has scored 310 runs, including a century and two fifties at Wanderers where India are unbeaten.
