The Men in Blue skipper was rested for the 50-over competition, with a view to staying fresh for this month’s two-match Test series against the West Indies – beginning on October 4 in Rajkot.
The subcontinent giants will take on the Caribbean outfit in ODI clashes before travelling to Australia for a long tour in November.
On Wednesday, the BCCI Twitter account posted a video of Kohli batting as he gears up for his first appearance since the 4-1 Test series defeat against England last month.
