Asia Cup 2023 India vs Sri Lanka Playing 11 live updates: Kohli's first in 15 years

<div>
	After winning the Player of the Match award for his 94-ball 122 knock, India&#39;s batting talisman Virat Kohli stated that he is prepared to return to the pitch on Tuesday and added that playing Test cricket will aid his recovery and enable him to play for a third straight day.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Just like several of Kohli&#39;s previous knocks, this outstanding century against one of his favourite opponents Pakistan came with its share of remarkable records.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Kohli went from 50 off 55 balls to an unbeaten 122 in 94 balls, smashing 72 runs off his last 39 balls to lift India to a tall total in the rain-interrupted Asia Cup Super Four clash against Pakistan. Batting alongside KL Rahul, Kohli was in top form as the duo dominated Pakistan&#39;s bowling attack.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;I was pushing for those runs and happy for it, but I was thinking I need to play at 3 pm tomorrow,&quot; Virat Kohli said in a post-match presentation.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&quot;It is the first time I have done anything like this in 15 years of cricket. Luckily we are Test players, so we know how to come back the next day and play. Recovery is crucial. It was humid out there today. I am 35 in November, so I need to take care of my recovery,&quot; he added.<br />

Will India make changes in their Playing 11?<br />
<br />
India are set to be in action for third consecutive day. With Shreyas Iyer missing the Pakistan game due to back spasm, it is likely that he might get a chance in India&#39;s Playing 11 today given World Cup is on the horizon.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
If India opted to go with Iyer then Ishan Kishan could pave way for Shreyas Iyer&#39;s inclusion in India&#39;s Playing 11.<br />
