IPL 2017: Will only return when 120 percent fit, says Kohli

Virat Kohli on the sidelines of Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match confirmed that he won’t put a date on his IPL return until he feels he is “120 percent fit”.

“The priority is Indian cricket with the Champions Trophy coming up and I don’t want to take any risks. I have not set any date and I will only return when I am 120 percent fit. Having said that I would like to return on field as soon as possible,” Kohli said.

Kohli after missing the series-deciding Test against Australia in Dharamsala, said that he is a bit disappointed to remain out of action.

“I would say I have not got a bit used to it as I have already missed a Test match. But it is frustrating that you can’t play because of injury on just one part of your body.”

However, Kohli was happy to see Yuvraj Singh in top form ahead of the Champions Trophy in June.

“As I said the priority is Indian cricket. He got a hundred against England and also got runs in Kolkata. The confidence has just rubbed off,” the RCB skipper said.
