India’s explosive batsman Virat Kohli may not be able to play in the third and final match of the ongoing 3-match T20I series (IND vs SA T20I Series, 2022) between India and South Africa.
It is worth noting that on Sunday, 2 October, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team defeated South Africa by 16 runs in the second match of the series played at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. In this match, Virat Kohli played an innings of 49 runs in 28 balls (not out) while batting with a bang. Sources are telling that the management of the Indian team wants to rest Virat Kohli to keep him fresh before the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which is going to start from October 16.
