Virat Kohli didn't play the first ODI at Nagpur due to a knee injury. He was expected to play that match but missed out as he suffered an unfortunate injury just a day before the match.

However, the 36-year-old ensured to be fit before this match and became available for selection. When India's captain Rohit Sharma announced that Kohli was playing the match, the crowd inside the stadium erupted in joy and celebrations.

Kohli replaced Yashasvi Jaiswal in this match. He is expected to bat at his usual spot of No. 3 while Shubman Gill, who batted at No. 3 in the last match, is likely to move up to open alongside Rohit Sharma.

Virat Kohli's ODI comeback

Virat Kohli will be playing an ODI match after a long time. He last played an ODI against Sri Lanka in August 2024. After that series, he endured a rough patch of form in Test cricket where he failed miserably during India's home Test season and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Kohli played all five Tests in India's home Test season against Bangladesh and New Zealand. He scored 192 runs at an average of just 21.33 with the best of 70. His poor form coincided with India's shocking Test series defeat to New Zealand at home.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Kohli started well with a brilliant hundred in Perth. But his form dipped afterwards as he was constantly dismissed in the same fashion by outside edging the ball behind the wickets.

Virat Kohli scored 190 runs in five Tests in Australia at an average of 23.75. However, the ODIs are his most favorable format and he will be key to India's chances in the upcoming Champions Trophy.

England cross the 300-run mark

Earlier, England won the toss and batted first on a good batting surface. All of their top six batters got starts but were unable to convert them into big ones. Joe Root emerged as England's top-run scorer as he got some crucial ODI runs under his belt.

Root scored 69 off 72 balls while Ben Duckett struck a fiery 65 off 56 balls at the top. Skipper Jos Buttler got a good start but was dismissed for 34. Liam Livingstone smashed a late cameo of 41 from 32 balls to take England to 304.
