When will Virat Kohli return to the field? This was a question that even the Royal Challengers Bangalore team wanted an answer to. Now, everyone knows. Kohli announced his date of return in the Indian Premier League in an Instagram post in which he also attached a video.

The RCB captain is eyeing to return to the field against Mumbai Indians at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore on Friday, April 14. This was announced by Kohli himself and he also wrote,”can’t wait to get back onto the field.”

Kohli has been out of action for three weeks now after he sustained a shoulder injury during the third Test against Australia in Ranchi in March.

Earlier, Kohli had said that he will return only when he thinks he is 120 percent fit. With three more days to RCB’s next fixture, Kohli is hopeful that he can achieve fitness and return to the ground.

In his Insta post, he wrote: “Can’t wait to get back onto the field. Almost there now ??????. 14th April ?” Tough he had question mark at the end of the date, he was seen lifting weight in the video which shows that his shoulder is better.
