Champions Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli's Unmatched ICC Streak Under Threat
Virat Kohli's long-standing ICC streak might be coming to an end due to his latest injury. Read below for details.
Virat Kohli is facing a race against time to get back to his best, and the Indian veteran's road to comeback has hit a huge roadblock, as the right-handed batter sustained an injury in his right knee, which ruled him out of the 1st ODI against England in Nagpur.
Team India skipper Rohit Sharma confirmed it during the toss, and stated that the side are opting for a cautious approach with the legendary player, as his presence will be of utmost importance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

If there were doubts over Shreyas Iyer's slot, the 2024 IPL winning captain replied with a decisive half-century to stabilise India's innings. If both of them continue to perform this way, Indian management will have hard time in excluding either of the two from the playing XI.
