Virat Kohli INJURED? Ex-India Captain With 'Ice-Pack' Pic Goes Viral During Practice Ahead of ICC CT Clash vs Pakistan

With all the spotlight in and around Virat Kohli ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash versus Pakistan, is he ready for the challenge? Is Kohli carrying an injury and BCCI is hiding that? Is that the case? The former India captain was there at the practice on match eve 90 minutes early. He had a long session against spinners, trying to fine-tune his sweep. But then, he was spotted with an ice-pack on his ankle and that has started all kinds of speculation. Nothing official on this has been confirmed by anyone from the team management and even vice-captain Shubman Gill did not speak about it at the pre-match presser. Here is how concerned fans are reacting to this development.
