As far as cricket is concerned, the skipper was rested from the game since India's exit from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021. He missed the three T20Is against the BlackCaps and isn't part of the ongoing 1st Test as well.

Earlier, Kohli had hit the field and was seen training with former India assistant coach, Sanjay Bangar. Bangar is now the head coach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

Along with Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami also aren't part of any of the fixtures. Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma are rested for the Test matches.
