He is the Indian crickets blue-eyed boy, so his injury is bound to scare the nation in which cricket is treated nothing short of a religion. India is taking on the visitors Australia which is already proving to be an epic series and will be remembered in the years to come. But today at Ranchi, things have changed for the better for the Indian skipper. He may have lost the toss but for the first time in the series, India have their noses in front. They have already picked up four crucial wickets.
But the incident we are keeping an eye on is when Virat Kohli picked up an injury on his right shoulder and had to leave the field. Knowing Kohli, he would be the last person to leave the ground. He is not the person who wants to be out of action. Indians would be hoping he comes back quick and it is not something major. Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has taken on the command.

By the looks of it, it seems that Virat Kohli will be back on the playing field soon. You just cannot keep him out of the game.
