The India vs England Test series is just 3 days away from beginning at the Rajiv Gandhi international stadium in Hyderabad. The squads are all set to compete in this much awaited series featuring some great players who will be looking to dominate one and other. For the English it is their aggressive approach to the game of Test cricket that has become one of the talking points in the cricketing world and for the Indians it is their brilliant talented players who are capable of surprising anyone who they play against. Every cricket fan will be ready to see this series and hope that their teams make a great impact.

We might be thinking of how Rohit Sharma will lead his troops against this dangerous English batting lineup, but there is also another player that will also be in the limelight. It is none other than Virat Kohli. Virat is no doubt one of the best batters in the world right now, who will be one of the batters the England bowlers will look out for. Virat has so far been one of the top Test players with 8848 runs in his 113 matches at an average of 49.16 and is one of the dangerous batters who is known to play long match winning innings that puts his team in front.

Kohli to miss out in first two Test matches

However, there is a shocking turn of events where Virat will not feature in the First two Tests vs England due to personal reasons. This has come as a shock to the fans who were excited to see the world class king in action. This will surely disappoint the spectators who wanted to see him perform against England once again. This will also mean that the Indian cricket board will need to find a replacement for the first two games for Virat Kohli as with not many days left before the beginning of the series.

This might be a bit of a sad moment for the fans, but if we look on the bright side, we will still get Virat back for the remaining 3 games of the series, where we will once again see him at that iconic number 4 position. We hope the board can find the perfect replacement for Kohli in the first two games. There might be a lot of talented players on the bench, but they will still have big shoes to fill while taking the spot of one of the greatest batters to ever grace the game and has a great record against this English side.
