Unfortunately, the Indian skipper, will not play for Surrey following a neck injury sustained during the IPL. Now, the 29-year-old cricketer is currently undergoing rehabilitation. We pray that everything goes well for Kohli as he is expected to appear for a fitness test at the NCA(National Cricket Academy) on June 15.
Guess what? we spotted Afghanistan National Team at BCCI Awards function. Well, the Afghanis will take on India in their first ever Test match, starting Thursday.
