The post was well received by fans with many wishes to the team for the best of luck in the upcoming Test.

Earlier, it was also reported that Kohli would miss the ODI series but the Test captain, in a press conference on Wednesday, denied those who said he was always available for selection.

Recently, the national team has undergone major changes as Ravi Shastri’s tenure as head coach is coming to an end after this year’s T20 World Cup. Shastri was replaced by Dravid. Meanwhile, BCCI has also replaced Kohli with Rohit as Team India’s full-time white ball captain.
