Former India captain Virat Kohli is all set to be seen in action again in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England, which is scheduled to start from July 14. This will be Kohli's first cricketing outing after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
The star batter had missed the ODI series against Afghanistan because of the injury. Before that, Kohli enjoyed an outstanding IPL 2026 season, scoring 675 runs and playing a key role in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's maiden title-winning campaign.
With Kohli now fully fit, he is likely to make his comeback in the opening ODI against England in Birmingham on July 14.

Ahead of the series, England batter Jordan Cox recalled a memorable meeting with Kohli in London last month. The two, who were teammates at RCB during IPL 2026, were spotted together in a picture that quickly went viral on social media.
Speaking about the incident, Cox said they had hoped to keep the meeting private, but were surprised to find photos of them circulating online later.
Cox admitted he felt sorry for Kohli, saying the former India captain rarely gets the chance to enjoy a normal outing without attracting attention.
The England batter also spoke highly of Kohli's personality, saying the Indian great spent a lot of time helping him during their stint together at Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
India are currently in England for a five-match T20I series. The visitors have already lost the series after falling 3-0 behind, with the fifth and final match scheduled to be played in Southampton on Saturday.
