Bengaluru, Apr 13 (PTI): India captain Virat Kohli will return to bolster Royal Challenger Bangalore's campaign when they take on arch-rivals Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League here tomorrow.
Kohli had to undergo rehabilitation after sustaining an injury to his right shoulder while fielding during the third Test against Australia in Ranchi and he has been missing in action ever since.
However, the Delhi batsman has been declared fit on Thursday by BCCI Medical Team and will look to boost the confidence of RCB, who lost two out of the three matches that they have played so far in his absence.
Kohli, who had dropped hints of making a return after posting a video on his Instagram account of his gym session on April 11, did some fielding drills during the team's net session, on Wednesday. Last year, Kohli had scored a staggering 973 runs in 16 matches with four centuries to guide RCB to the finals against Sunrisers Hyderabad and he would look to improve Bangalore's current sixth place standing on the points-table. In Kohli's absence, AB de Villiers made his presence felt as he smashed his way to an unbeaten 89 off just 46 balls to help RCB post a respectable 148-4 on his comeback match after recovering from an injury.
