Virat Kohli has reportedly sustained a groin injury and is now in a race against time to be fit for the upcoming first ENG vs IND ODI. The first match of the three-ODI series is scheduled to take place on Tuesday (July 11) in London.

As per reports, the former India skipper suffered the injury during the third ODI against England on Sunday. According to PTI, Kohli didn’t travel from Nottingham to London in the team bus.

The reason behind it could be a stopover to get a medical check-up done to assess his condition.

“Virat has a groin strain during last game. It can’t be confirmed whether it happened during fielding or while batting. He will probably miss first ODI tomorrow at Oval as the groin needs rest,” a BCCI source told PTI.

Meanwhile, India will be looking to make a winning start to the ODI series after winning the T20Is.
