Virat Kohli returns to playing XI in second ODI against England after missing first match of series
After a couple of days of confusion, and curiosity over Virat Kohli missing the first ODI against England earlier this week, the Indian star batsman was included in the playing XI in the second ODI.
Kohli came back to the team in place of Shreyas Iyer, who had to make way for him. Iyer did not bat in the first ODI as India won the match without losing a wicket.
The change in the team was announced by skipper Rohit Sharma after winning the toss and deciding to bowl first. “Virat Kohli comes back in for Shreyas Iyer.” He said.
Before the start of the match, there were questions about Kohli’s availability due to a groin issue, a few fans had also added that the former skipper’s time in team India was over and that he was dropped from the team.
Several former cricketers including Kapil Dev and Venkatesh Prasad had also advocated dropping Kohli from the team after his poor run of form continued in the Test match and T20Is against England this month.

Nursing college student from Kerala dies by suicide at hostel, parents allege foul play
Bengaluru (PTI): A 19-year-old student from Kerala, who was studying at a private nursing college here, allegedly died by suicide in his hostel room, police said on Friday.
The deceased was identified as Adhityan P A, a second-year student at a nursing college in Bommasandra, they said.
On April 29, he was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his hostel room, police said, adding that he left behind a suicide note stating that no one was responsible for his death.
Preliminary investigation suggested that he may have been suffering from depression, and there may have been other issues which are being probed, a senior police officer said.
According to police, in his complaint, the deceased's father, Pradeep S, claimed that a college representative informed him upon his arrival in Bengaluru that his son had died under suspicious circumstances and that it was a case of suicide in the college hostel.
"However, I firmly believe that my son would not have taken such a step. He was of good character and mentally strong. Therefore, I strongly suspect foul play in his death," he claimed.
He also highlighted an incident that occurred approximately 20 days ago, when his son informed him that some of his hostel roommates were involved in drug use and were caught by hostel authorities.
"They were warned along with my son, although he was innocent and not involved in the incident. This situation may be relevant to the present case," he stated.
The complainant has urged the police to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter and take appropriate legal action.
A case of unnatural death has been registered at Hebbagudi Police Station here. Further investigation is underway, and all allegations are being examined, police said.
