Virat Kohli says blow on thumb not serious, should be fine for 1st Test

Port of Spain: Captain Virat Kohli said the blow to his right thumb during India's successful run chase against the West Indies in the third ODI has not resulted in a fracture and he "should be good" to play in the first Test starting on 22 August.

In the 27th over of India's run chase, Kohli was hit on the right thumb by a Kemar Roach bouncer. The Indian captain was seen to be having some pain but after being attended to by the physio, he continued batting to lead India to a series-clinching six-wicket win.

"I don't think it's a fracture otherwise I wouldn't have continued (batting). It's just a split of the nail," Kohli said at the post-match presentation ceremony on Wednesday.
