Virat Kohli had opted to rest in the first Test match against New Zealand.
India captain Virat Kohli is returning to the Test side for the second match against New Zealand in Mumbai, starting on Friday (December 3). He had opted to rest for the three-match T20I series and the first Test match in Kanpur.
Kohli's inclusion in the team will mean a few changes in the playing eleven for the next Test match. Former India batter Wasim Jaffer sees the funny side of it and he tried to show the scenario through a Bollywood meme.
