Decision over Virat Kohli's return in Test Cricket to be made soon - Reports 

Virat Kohli pulled out of the first two Test matches against England, citing personal commitments. Rajat Patidat was called up as his replacement, but the batter could not put up big numbers. The leading question among the fans' minds is when will they be able to see the star player back in action. With the Vizag Test ending soon, all eyes will be locked on the Rajkot Test and whether Virat will be there or not. If reports are to be trusted, Kohli hasn't ruled himself out as of yet. Likewise, the selectors anticipate that he will return for the third Test.

“Virat [Kohli] hasn’t made himself unavailable for 3rd Test yet. He only informed us about the first two Tests. So, he is available for selection unless he says otherwise. There will be more clarity in a day or two,” a senior BCCI official said to InsideSport.
