India vs South Africa: Now a fresh report is coming out about Virat Kohli. According to this report, Virat Kohli has withdrawn his name from the ODI series for the tour of South Africa. Earlier, Rohit Sharma had to withdraw from the Test series. According to a BCCI release, Rohit has suffered a left hamstring injury and will not be available for the 3-match Test series.
The series between India and South Africa (IND vs SA) is going to start from 26 December. Even before the start of this series, many developments are coming to the fore. According to the latest information, after being removed from the captaincy of the ODI team, Virat Kohli has reportedly decided to withdraw from the ODI series against South Africa. Virat Kohli is part of the Test team going to tour South Africa and is also its captain, but he has already told the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that he will not play in the ODI team.
Ahead of the series between India and South Africa, a lot of talk is being done after the BCCI’s recent decision to hand over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma in both the limited overs formats. However, Virat Kohli himself has not yet given any reaction regarding this matter. It is being said that his decision to skip the 3-match ODI series against South Africa has reportedly nothing to do with the change in captaincy.
