Indian strike bowler, Bhuvneshwar Kumar [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bhuvneshwar-kumar/] ruled out of India’s next two or three matches due to a hamstring injury at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019/], as suggested by the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/virat-kohli/] after a comfortable victory over their arch-rivals, Pakistan at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 on June 16. Bhuvneshwar Kumar landed awkwardly while completing his third over in the match against Pakistan at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, on Sunday. He immediately left the field, leaving his team with one bowler short. Bhuvneshwar Kumar [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-61-2.jpeg] In a post-match press conference, Virat Kohli made an update on Bhuvi’s injury. He suggested that Bhuvneshwar Kumar will miss two or three matches to recover from the injury. He said, “Slight light niggle for Bhuvi, he slipped on one of the footmarks. He’s out for two, maybe three games, but he should come back for us at some stage during this tournament. He is very important for us.” Bhuvneshwar Kumar [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-62-3.jpeg] Kohli also suggested that Bhuvneshwar Kumar would be replaced by Mohammed Shami. He said, “Shami was raring to go.” Virat Kohli was forced to give the ball to Vijay Shankar [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Shankar_(cricketer)] to complete Kumar’s over. To everyone’s surprise, Shankar took the wicket of Imam-ul-Haq in the very first delivery. Bhuvneshwar Kumar [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-63-3.jpeg] The good length delivery nipped into the left-hander as he tried to flick the ball but couldn’t connect as the ball hit on his back pad. Imam was struck plumb in front of the leg stump, forcing the umpire to raise his finger for an lbw appeal. Imam, after a quick chat with his partner, Fakhar Zaman walked towards the pavilion and not reviewing the decision. The ‘Men in Blue’ will face Afghanistan, West Indies and England in their next three matches at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The team will hope that their two key players, Shikhar Dhawan [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shikhar-dhawan/] and Bhuvneshwar Kumar recover from their injury as soon as possible.

ICC Cricket World Cup History
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a competition that takes place every four years.?The tournament is considered one of the world's most viewed sporting events. The first ever ICC Cricket World Cup took place in 1975 in England. Interestingly, the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the Men's, namely in 1973.
There are no restrictions for playing in the World Cup, but the top eight ranked teams gain automatic qualification, while the remaining seats are fought for in a qualifier tournament. A total of 20 teams have played in an ICC Cricket World Cup game, but the number of participants has dwindled over the years.
For the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, only 10 teams will participate, including two qualifiers. This is a far cry from 14 teams that took part in 2015.
The next ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in 2023 for men. In addition to that, the next ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in 2021.

Profile

Virat Kohli has had an impressive career since making his debut in the Indian team in 2008. He first broke into the national side in ODIs, soon followed by a 2010 debut in T20s and a Test debut in 2011.

Since then, his rise has been meteoric and he eventually took the mantle of India captain from MS Dhoni. ODI captaincy was up first in 2013, followed by Test captaincy when MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2014. Finally, Virat Kohli was appointed T20 skipper in 2017.

IPL Career

Virat Kohli made his IPL debut back in 2008 itself for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Since then, he has remained in the team all these years.

After an average debut season, his form picked up in subsequent years. For two straight seasons, he was in the top 3 of highest run-scorers in IPL.

In 2011, he was promoted to vice captain and even took over as skipper when regular, Daniel Vettori was injured. When the latter retired in 2013, Kohli took the mantle of RCB captain, and has led the side ever since.

Now, for IPL 2019, Virat Kohli heads into the new season as the captain once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to expectations, there is a lot of pressure on the team. For years, they have always been so close and yet so far. On paper, RCB have had the strongest batting line-up of all other teams, yet, they have failed to deliver time and again.

Between 2011 and 2017, RCB boasted of the deadliest batting line-up. To be precise, joining Virat Kohli was South Africa's AB de Villiers and West Indian giant, Chris Gayle.

Inspite of this, and Gayle smashing a few centuries here and there, RCB almost always bottled the job.

So, will the 2019 season be any different? Can captain Virat Kohli inspire his men to rally forth into victory? Or will Virat Kohli and the RCB squad succumb to defeat yet again, as was the case all these years?
