However, India would be without the services of Jasprit Bumrah, who has flown back home over a personal matter. But, who replaces him in the Indian team for the Nepal clash on Monday?

Kohli played Shaheen Afridi's delivery onto his stumps and had to walk back to the dressing room for a score of 4 (7).
