Kohli, Rohit's Fitness To Be Assessed Ahead Of Afghanistan ODIs: Doeschate
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate on Thursday said the fitness of senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be assessed in the coming days ahead of the three-game ODI series against Afghanistan, adding that official communication will follow once the medical team takes a call.
While Rohit’s participation in the three-game series is subject to fitness after sustaining a hamstring injury in IPL 2026, Kohli’s availability is in doubt due to him suffering a hamstring strain while making an unbeaten 75 in the final for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who defended their title in Ahmedabad on June 1.
India are also awaiting to see if seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be fully fit for the 50-over series against Afghanistan after back spasms led to him missing a few games for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026.
