New Delhi: India defeated Australia in the fourth test match at Dharamsala to clinch 4-match Test series 2-1. Indian team was led by Ajinkya rahane in the absence of Virat Kohli, who was ruled out due to shoulder injury.

Talking in the press conference, Virat hinted that he is set to remain on the sideline for ‘a few weeks’ which also means that he will miss couple of games for his IPL side – Royal Challengers Bangalore.

 Speaking about his recovery from the shoulder niggle, Kohli said  "It's still a few weeks to go till I can be 100 per cent on the field. You have to take it in your stride and move forward," he said.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will begin their campaign on April 8 against Delhi Daredevils followed by their encounter against King XI Punjab on April 10.

Even if Virat takes two weeks to recover, he will at least miss 2 games.

The 28-year-old suffered injury to his shoulder after he dived in an attempt to a save boundary during the third Test match in Ranchi.
