Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli has been ruled out of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan due to a hamstring injury sustained during the IPL 2026 final. While India is set to play a Test match from June 6 and ODIs from June 13, Kohli's absence is a significant blow. Shubman Gill will lead the side, with Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya needing to clear fitness tests. Kohli has been in stellar form in ODIs, scoring 651 runs in 2025 and 240 runs in 2026 so far. https://www.etvbharat.com/pa/sports/virat-kohli-ruled-out-of-odi-series-against-afghanistan-due-to-hamstring-injury-pbs26060402049 #Creator program
