#5 Virat Kohli gets a break
When it was rumored that Kohli had suffered a slip disc, the majority of the fans were concerned because back issues are problematic. Serious back injuries can even imply nine months out of action. Such injuries are often seen in people who have a high workload and Kohli is one of them.
However, when the reports of a neck injury started to emerge, it came as a relief.
Kohli's form is going to be vital for India not only in the England Test series but also in future tours. If he misses the limited overs matches, we can expect him to return as a hungrier and fresher player. Although missing the stint with Surrey does have its cons, Kohli might perform better after a break.
