Watch: Virat Kohli injured? Batter seen bandaged in Adelaide training

As Rohit Sharma-led India aims to extend their winning momentum in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a video of star batter Virat Kohli receiving medical attention for a possible knee niggle has left fans concerned. The clip, which emerged from India’s training session ahead of the Day-Night Test in Adelaide starting from December 6, showed the team’s medical staff bandaging Kohli’s right knee, hinting at a minor issue.
Kohli’s form has been a vital asset for India, especially after his match-defining performance in the second innings of the Perth Test. Following a lacklustre first innings, the 36-year-old roared back to form with a gritty century off 143 balls, a knock that played a significant role in India’s commanding 294-run victory over Australia. His apparent injury has stirred unease among fans eager to see him continue his rich vein of form.
The Perth Test marked a major milestone for Kohli, as he surpassed the legendary Sachin Tendulkar to become the Indian batter with the most Test hundreds on Australian soil. With seven centuries Down Under, Kohli now trails only England’s Jack Hobbs for the most centuries in Australia by any batter. Furthermore, he set an all-time record for the most hundreds by an overseas batter against Australia across formats, cementing his legacy as one of cricket’s modern greats.
While Kohli’s fitness is under scrutiny, there’s some reassurance for India with captain Rohit Sharma actively training with the squad. However, losing Kohli or having him play at less than full capacity could be a significant blow. Kohli’s ability to perform under pressure, particularly in challenging conditions like those in Adelaide, has made him an indispensable part of India’s Test setup.
As fans eagerly await the start of the Day-Night Test, they hope that the knee issue is nothing more than a precautionary concern. Kohli’s form and fitness will be critical as India looks to consolidate its position in the series and push for another decisive victory.
