Will Virat Kohli return home even before the conclusion of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and West Indies? This is the question that has been doing the rounds on social media ever since reports emerged that he has not traveled to Trinidad with the Indian team.
Virat Kohli has made very little impact in the series so far. In the first ODI where West Indies were bowled out for just 114, Virat Kohli did not come out to bat as India promoted other batsmen to chase down the modest total. The team-management then decided to rest him and captain Rohit Sharma for the second ODI in Barbados.
As Team India arrived in Trinidad, Virat Kohli was nowhere to be seen. The BCCI posted a video clip of the team arriving in the country but the former India skipper did not feature in the clip. The clip has made many speculate that Virat Kohli will skip the series-decider too and might decide to return home ahead of the last game on Tuesday (August 1).
Will Virat Kohli play the third ODI against West Indies:
Only time will tell whether Virat Kohli plays the third ODI or not. The team-management might decide to give the fringe players another chance to impress. Virat Kohli, however, will be available for selection and will not return home before the series ends, according to a report by the IANS. The news outlet has stated that a source with the team confirmed that the star batsman will be available for the third ODI.
Meanwhile, India will be looking to bounce back and win the third ODI to clinch the series. The Men in Blue have not lost an ODI series against West Indies since 2006 and will be keen to maintain the record.
