Rahul said he was confident Kohli would return but it was doubtful that Mohammad Siraj, who was injured in the second Test, would play in the third Test. ‘Siraj needs to be monitored on the net. If the leg muscles are injured, it can be difficult to recover quickly. But there is no need to worry as Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma will play as replacements. We expected such injuries when we came here for the Test series, ”said Rahul.
