India has named Yashasvi Jaiswal as Virat Kohli's replacement for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. The star batsman, Kohli, is sidelined due to a hamstring injury he sustained in the final of the Indian Premier League.

Kohli's injury occurred while he was playing for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who clinched their second consecutive IPL title after a victory against Gujarat Titans. The ODI series is set to take place on June 14, 17, and 20.

While Kohli hopes to recover in time for India's subsequent series against England, there is no definitive timeline for his return, as confirmed by the selection panel chairman, Ajit Agarkar. The board remains optimistic but awaits further updates from the team physiotherapist.
