Virat returns home due to family emergency, Ruturaj to miss SA Tests

Former India captain Virat Kohli, who was in South Africa with India's Test squad, has returned home because of a family emergency, according to BCCI sources quoted by PTI. However, the iconic batter is expected to return to South Africa in time for the first Test against the hosts, beginning December 26. Additionally, batter Ruturaj Gaikwad will miss the two-Test series because of a finger fracture. He sustained a finger injury while attempting to take a catch in the second ODI.
