After sustaining an upper back spasm in the second Test against South Africa, skipper Virat Kohli is expected to return ahead of the third Test in Cape Town, Team India's head coach Rahul Dravid announced on Thursday.

During the post-match virtual press conference, Dravid was quizzed on a variety of topics, one of which being Virat Kohli's health. Thankfully, there has been a significant good development, and Kohli will make his comeback in the series' critical third Test match, which will be played in Cape Town from January 11–15.

From all indications, Virat Kohli should be OK. Dravid explained, "He's got a chance to run around a little bit, he's had a chance to test it a little bit."
