former captain of india Virat Kohli Recently he was seen with young England player Jordan Cox, his Royal Challengers Bangalore teammate, during a meeting in London. Kohli is currently undergoing rehabilitation in the United Kingdom from a hamstring injury, which he reportedly suffered during the IPL final. The veteran batsman is expected to recover in time for India's upcoming match against England in July.
The meeting attracted considerable attention as it took place just hours before Cox's anticipated Test debut against New Zealand on 17 July. Pictures of the two cricketers chatting in a London restaurant quickly went viral on social media.
Kohli enjoyed another productive IPL season, scoring 675 runs, while Cox did not play a single match for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Although the details of their conversation are unknown, many fans speculated that Kohli may have shared valuable advice with the young English batsman ahead of the potentially career-defining moment.
Since retiring from Test cricket last year, Kohli has maintained a largely public profile. After shifting his base to London, he is often seen spending time with his family during his breaks from cricket. Before returning to competitive action, he will need to obtain fitness clearance from the Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru.
Meanwhile, Cox will benefit from significant changes to the England squad for the second Test. England have announced several changes to the playing eleven, including several debutants and a number of changes to the team that won the opening Test at Lord's.
Reports have also emerged about disciplinary issues involving England captain Ben Stokes and fast bowler Gus Atkinson. According to media reports, both the players were dropped after alleged violation of team curfew and an incident that took place in a nightclub. However, British media outlets have suggested that neither player was the aggressor and that the rugby academy player was responsible for starting the confrontation. The investigation into the matter is reportedly ongoing.
