Twitter has erupted as their favorite and the best Indian batsmen, Virat Kohli is missing from the ongoing final T20 International vs South Africa.
The enormity of the decider for the series has not gone lost on anyone at all.
But the fact that Indian captain misses the game due to a stiff back injury makes it understandable.
This surely means Virat could rest out of the Nidahas Trophy to be played in March in Sri Lanka.
And also the sheer fact that Virat has scored almost a thousand runs across the long tour of the rainbow nation makes the break well deserving and needed if one takes a look at India”s very busy schedule for the year. He was India”s highest run-getter in the test series with 286 runs and a magnificent hundred centurion of 153. And followed it up 558 runs in the six-game ODI series which included three amazing hundreds.
Virat is the backbone of the team and leads from the front and his leadership will be missed. But Rohit Sharma will lead the side on the park in Virat”s absence.
India would like to win the series and give a befitting tribute to their captain.
Virat Kohli is not playing the match. According to unconfirmed reports, he is yet to come out of the shock that Dhoni can abuse better than him.

Rohit Sharma At Toss – "Virat Kohli's Got A Stiff Back As He Has Had A Long Season, So He Misses Out."
After Watching His Consistent Performance, I Won't Be Surprised If Rohit Sharma Misses Out The Next Match Due To Stiff Back. 🙊😉🤪 #INDvSA #INDvsSA #SAvIND #SAvsIND
