Virat Kohli has left for India due to a family emergency, but he's expected to return in time for the first Test against South Africa, set to begin next week.
Kohli had travelled to South Africa as part of the Indian squad for the two-Test series, which will begin in Centurion on December 26.
"Virat Kohli has returned to India due to a family emergency. But he will be back before start of the first Test," PTI reported, quoting a BCCI source, on Friday (December 22).
Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the two-Test series, which is a part of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, after fracturing his finger.
"Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the two-Test series with ring finger fracture," the source added.
Gaikwad had injured his finger while trying to take a catch during the second ODI against South Africa earlier this week.
