Virat Kohli will soon rejoin the Indian team, currently based in Thiruvananthapuram. He will be flying from Mumbai later in the night and will then travel to Chennai with the entire contingent on Wednesday.

According to sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Kohli sought permission from the board and team management to attend to a personal matter in Mumbai. A spokesman for the Indian team stated on Tuesday evening, “He will be joining us later in the evening and will be traveling with the team to Chennai tomorrow.”

Kohli would have missed the second warm-up fixture against Netherlands at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram had it taken place. However, the match had to be abandoned due to inclement weather.
