While Kohli had visited a health center in Mumbai for a check-up, it's been reported that he's suffering from a slip disc harm and might not be playing for Surrey ahead of the UK tour starting with two T20 Internationals towards Ireland in June.

However, a top BCCI official, who is privy to Kohli's county engagements, clarified that this is a case of "neck sprain" and now not a "slip disc injury" as reported.

"Yes, Virat has had fatigue issues and this is a case of workload management rather than injury management. But it isn't a case of slip disc. As of now, we will be monitoring his workload," the senior official said on condition of anonymity.

"We are chalking a plan wherein his county stint will be curtailed. He will play two four-day matches as per the original plan and not the five Royal London Cup (50 over) matches," he added.

When pressed additional at the reported slip disc harm, the official spoke back: "Yesterday, Virat posted his fitness video as part of the Government's 'Fitness Challenge'. I can tell you that the video was shot yesterday."

Kohli were tagged by way of Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore in the social media marketing campaign and he had posted a video of him figuring out in the fitness center in reaction.

Asked why did he talk over with a spinal surgeon at Khar medical facility, the official said: "Virat had suffered a neck sprain during an IPL match in Jaipur (RCB's final game). The pain had subsided but he went for a precautionary check-up."

However, there is not any denying that Kohli has had super workload throughout the past twelve months starting June 2017.

In this segment, he gave the impression in nine Tests and 29 of the 32 ODIs that the nationwide group played. He additionally played nine out of India's 18 T20 Internationals.

In all, he played 47 global fits with handiest Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya (48 each and every) playing a match more than him.

Add to it, the 14 IPL fits and his tally goes up to 61 in all.


However, the one query that begs to be spoke back is why did Kohli now not relaxation himself from a couple of fits throughout the IPL?


The BCCI has already put a program in place where the centrally-contracted cricketers' workload and harm control is monitored throughout the National Cricket Academy.


The franchise physios and running shoes are supposed to give weekly updates to the nationwide group running shoes and the ones present on the NCA.
