Indian skipper Virat Kohli could come out to bat at the fall of the second wicket in India’s first innings. The 28-year-old, who has not taken an active part in the game since the lunch session on the opening day, did not take the field on the entire second day during the Australian innings and did not either after India got off to a good start.
On the morning of Day 3, however, Kohli was seen wearing his India whites and gearing up for the game ahead of the start, going through a batting practice session under the watchful eyes of head coach Anil Kumble and the medical staff.
