The video caused fans to wonder what the two were talking about, in addition to the knee problem.
The Vicecapitan of India, Shubman Gill, was also asked about Kohli’s injury at the press conference after the party. He said Kohli will definitely be fit for the second game.
“When he woke up in the morning, he swelled in the knee,” Gill said. “It was fine until yesterday’s practice session. There is nothing to worry about. It will definitely be fit for the next game.”
Kohli’s injury is a concern for the team, since the Champions Trophy will begin on February 19 in Pakistan with India playing all its games in Dubai as of February 20.
Management would expect the kohli knee injury not to be too serious and it is good to go in the remaining two games of the confrontation against England. The second game is in Cuttack on February 9, followed by the series-final in Ahmedabad on February 12.
“Unfortunately, Kohli does not play, a correct knee problem that happened last night,” said Captain Rohit Sharma in the raffle, surprising everyone.
