The Indian captain has recovered from his shoulder injury and is fit to lead RCB tomorrow against the Mumba Indians.
According to a statement released by the Board, "The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Medical Team on Wednesday confirmed that Indian Cricket Team and Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli has regained match fitness."
"He will now be available for RCB's next match against Mumbai Indians on April 14 in Bengaluru," it added.
Kohli underwent rehabilitation after sustaining an injury to his right shoulder while fielding during the third Test against Australia in Ranchi.
The Indian captain underwent some fielding drills during the team’s practice session yesterday. The RCB captain was seen swiftly running around to hold on to some high and low catches under the watchful eyes of team's fielding coach Trent Woodhill.
Kohli didn't drop a single catch during the drill and was seen throwing the ball at wicketkeeper Kedar Jadhav with great power, which is an indication that he has recovered from the shoulder injury he had suffered while fielding during the third Test against Australia at Ranchi.
The injury forced Kohli to miss the final test match of the series against Australia in Dharamsala. Kohli also was forced to miss the first three matches in the ongoing IPL 10.
