There is news that Virat Kohli has suddenly returned to India from South Africa. The reason for Virat's return is said to be family emergency. Till now no concrete information has been received as to why Virat suddenly had to return to Mumbai. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli returned to Mumbai 3 days ago and he could not even participate in Team India's intra-squad.

There is nothing to worry about!

According to BCCI sources, there is no need to panic in the case of Virat Kohli. If reports are to be believed, Virat Kohli has not been ruled out of the South Africa Test series, he will play both the matches. Virat Kohli is said to be reaching South Africa on Friday. However, due to family emergency, Virat Kohli's preparations have definitely been disrupted.

Kohli will play an important role

Let us tell you that Virat Kohli will play the most important role in the Test series against South Africa. Captain Rohit Sharma's record in South Africa has been very bad, hence Virat will have more responsibility of batting. Virat has scored 719 runs in South Africa at an average of more than 51, which includes two centuries. Team India has never won any Test series in South Africa, if Virat's bat works and the bowlers get support then this feat can be achieved this time.

Ruturaj is out

Virat Kohli can play in the Test series against South Africa but one player of Team India is out of the series. Ruturaj Gaikwad has been out of the Test team due to a finger injury. Gaikwad was injured in the second ODI against South Africa. He could not play in the third ODI. It is not yet clear which player will get a chance in the Test squad in place of Rituraj. But according to reports, either Sarfaraz Khan and Abhimanyu Easwaran can be included in the team.
