Kohli passed his fitness test

According to the report of Sports, Virat Kohli has passed his fitness test and it is expected that by tomorrow he will get the green signal to play in the ODI series against England.

This three-match ODI series against England is going to be very important for Team India, because this series is part of the preparations for the ICC ODI World Cup to be held in 2027.
