He has been replaced by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal is making his ODI debut. Before the toss at the VCA Stadium, Kohli was seen tied on the right knee. According to commentators, Virat was trying hard to prove his fitness but he could not succeed. Kohli was seen to be small jogging and stretching. It seemed that he informed a member of the coaching staff that he would not be able to play in the first ODI. He was also seen touching his right knee.

Due to pain in the knee, Virat Kohli got out of the first ODI against England. But how serious the problem is, nothing can be said about it right now. With the current series, India has reached the final stages of the preparations for the Champions Trophy and the team is already struggling with suspicion about the availability of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.
