“He [Virat Kohli] has been rested from the final T20I,” said a BCCI official
Star India batter Virat Kohli has been rested from the third and final T20 international against South Africa in Indore on October 4.
Following the series-clinching win in Guwahati on October 2, Kohli flew to Mumbai on October 3 morning.
“He has been rested from the final T20I,” said a BCCI official.
After the final game against the Proteas, Kohli will link up with the squad in Mumbai from where the team is scheduled to leave for Australia on October 6 for the T20 World Cup.
The former India captain smashed an unbeaten 49 off 28 balls on October 2 as India won the second T20I by 16 runs to take an unassailable lead in the three-match series.
The last time Kohli was rested, from the away ODI and T20Is against the West Indies, questions were asked on the decision as he was going through a prolonged lean patch then.
He took a month off the game and did not even touch his bat for the duration of the break, a first for Kohli in 10 years by his own admission.
