By our Special Correspondent

India vice-captain Shubman Gill has allayed fears around Virat Kohli’s fitness, saying the batting stalwart is fine and should be fit for the second One-Day International against England here on Sunday.

Kohli, 36, was forced to miss the ODI series opener in Nagpur due to swelling in his right knee, leaving the team in a spot of bother as it went into the final dress rehearsal for the ICC Champions Trophy, beginning in Pakistan and Dubai on February 19.
