Virat Kohli missed the last series due to a hamstring injury sustained during the IPL 2026 final. Now named in India's squad for the upcoming ODI series against England, his participation remains unconfirmed. Recently, he was seen training with the former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar, showing signs of recovery and readiness. This training session took place in Alibaug and is part of his intensive preparation alongside further sessions in Mumbai as he aims to regain full match fitness.

His journey back includes consistent and focused workout routines designed to strengthen his hamstring and match readiness. Kohli’s presence will surely add experience and skill to the Indian lineup, making the ODI series exciting. His fitness and form will be closely monitored before the final playing XI is announced.
