IND vs ENG: Team India has faced defeat in the very first match of the Test series against England. Despite being in good condition, the Indian team could not win the match in Hyderabad because its batsmen could not even achieve the target of 231 runs in the fourth innings. Now India will have to make a comeback in the next match, so that the chances of winning the series remain strong. Apart from the defeat, there is no good news coming for the team at the moment. The injuries of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul have shocked him and now doubts about the return of Virat Kohli have also increased.Former Team India captain and star batsman Virat Kohli was included in the squad for the first and second matches of the Test series, but 3 days before the Hyderabad Test, BCCI suddenly announced his exit from the team. The board had told that Kohli had withdrawn his name from both the test matches due to personal reasons. BCCI had not told at that time whether Kohli would return from the third Test or not? This question still remains.When will Kohli return? BCCI is also unawareBCCI has not yet announced the squad for the remaining three matches of the series. Everyone is hoping that Kohli will return to the team from the third Test but at present the situation is not clear on this. It has been said in a report that the picture is not clear even on Kohli's participation in the remaining matches. The report quoted a BCCI official as saying that the board has not yet received any information from Kohli.Focus on second testWhether Kohli will return in the third Test or not will be known in a few days, when the team will be announced. The third Test match will be played in Rajkot from 15th February, in which there are still more than 2 weeks left. In such a situation, Kohli has a lot of time to make a comeback. For now, the focus will be only on Visakhapatnam, where the second Test match will start from February 2 and Team India will have to make a comeback in it.
