After the game, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/shubman-gill\" rel=\"noopener\">Shubman Gill<\/a> highlighted the nature of Kohli\u2019s injury and noted that it isn\u2019t serious and he expects the cricketer to be back in the playing XI in the second ODI in Cuttack.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s nothing serious. He (Kohli) was fine during yesterday&#8217;s (Wednesday) practice, but he woke up with some swelling in his knee this morning (Thursday). He&#8217;ll definitely be back for the second ODI,\u201d Gill said while speaking to Star Sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s form in the meantime is a matter of concern. After a century against Australia in the first Test in Perth, the 36-year-old struggled to deal with deliveries outside his off-stump and eventually, failed to live up to his potential. Even on his return to the Ranji Trophy, the cricketer couldn\u2019t prove his worth, scoring only six runs against Railways. Ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, his form remains a talking point and the next two ODIs against England will be key.<\/p>\n<p>Gill reflects on POTM performance against England<\/p>\n<p>Chasing 249 runs, India were reduced to 19\/2 at one stage. That\u2019s when Gill and Iyer took control of the situation and stitched a 94-run partnership. After Iyer departed, Gill and Axar kept up with the tempo, building a partnership of 108 runs. The all-rounder made 52 runs off 47 deliveries while Gill made 87 runs and arguably cemented his spot in the playing XI for the Champions Trophy.    <\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his performance after the match, Gill noted that he wasn\u2019t thinking about his century and focused on England\u2019s field placements to play his shots accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I wasn&#8217;t thinking about my century. I was focused on the field placements and played my shots accordingly. I wanted to dominate the bowler, and I would have played the same shot even if I was in my 60,\u201d Gill said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/when-will-virat-kohli-return-from-injury-shubman-gill-responds-2025-02-07-975149\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Virat Kohli (left) and Shubman Gill (right) Star India batter Virat Kohli missed the first ODI against England in Nagpur, owing to a swollen right knee.
