Kohli set to return against Mumbai Indians

IPL 2017 April 13, 2017

Virat Kohli has fully recovered from the shoulder injury that has kept him out of action since the Ranchi Test against Australia last month. The BCCI's medical team has confirmed he is fit to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore in their match against Mumbai Indians on Friday.

Kohli injured his right shoulder while making a diving stop at the boundary on the first day of the Ranchi Test. He missed the fourth Test against Australia in Dharamsala, with Ajinkya Rahane leading India in his absence, and was also ruled out of Royal Challengers' first three matches of the IPL season.

Royal Challengers, the losing finalists in 2016, have won one and lost two of their first three matches this season. The return of Kohli, their captain and the tournament's highest run-getter last season with 973 runs at an average of 81.08 and a strike rate of 152.03, should strengthen their batting considerably, with AB de Villiers - who missed the first two matches with a back injury - also back in action.
