Indian captain Virat Kohli has been officially ruled out of the fourth and final Test against Australia in Dharamsala today due to injury, Ajinkya Rahane will now lead the side.


Virat Kohli sustained an injury during the third Test match at Ranchi. The final Test match will also be a decider as to who wins the series.


Virat Kohli suffered a shoulder injury while fielding in the Ranchi Test match. Left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav will be making his debut as India go back to five bowler theory with Bhuvneshwar Kumar replacing Ishant Sharma.

Yesterday, Kohli had mentioned that he would play the Dharamsala test only if he was 100 percent fit.
