Indian batting star Virat Kohli is set to make his return to the field for the second ODI against England after recovering from a knee injury that ruled him out of the opening match of the series. Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak confirmed that Kohli is fit to play. 

In the first ODI, Shreyas Iyer had replaced Virat Kohli in the playing XI and he had made a big impact with his magnificent 59-run knock. Iyer had later revealed that he was informed by Indian skipper Rohit Sharma about his inclusion in the playing XI following the injury to Kohli. With Kohli’s return, India will have to drop a player to make the way for him. 

The absence of Kohli in the first ODI was a noticeable one, as team India are looking to find their rhythm ahead of the champions Trophy.
