Delhi: A bad news has come out for the fans regarding the Indian team’s star batsman Virat Kohli. After the end of IPL 2026, fans thought that Kohli would soon be seen in action in the home ODI series against Afghanistan, but this will not be possible. Due to injury, Kohli will not be able to take part in the ODI series between India and Afghanistan from 13 to 20 July.

The news of Kohli being out of the series has come as a big shock to his fans. Now many fans will definitely have this question in their mind that when will Kohli be seen in action after being out of the IND vs AFG series? Let us know the answer to this question:

For what reason will Kohli not participate in the IND vs AFG ODI series?

Let us tell you that Kohli will not take part in the series against Afghanistan due to hamstring injury. Kohli suffered this injury during the final of IPL 2026, due to which he had to face difficulty in running and scoring runs. According to media reports, Ruturaj Gaikwad will replace veteran King Kohli in the ODI series against Afghanistan.

When will Virat Kohli play the next match?

No official update has been issued by BCCI yet on the fitness of 37-year-old Kohli. If reports are to be believed, Kohli will take at least two weeks to recover from this injury. In such a situation, it is expected that he will return to the field fully fit during the ODI series against England during India’s tour of England.

It is noteworthy that the Indian team captained by Shubman Gill has to play three ODI matches against England on 14, 16 and 19 July. These matches will be played on the grounds of Edgbaston, Cardiff and Oval. Kohli’s fans will pray that he regains his fitness before this series.
