Kohli will be back in action in the second Test against New Zealand and batter Ajinkya Rahane will lead India in the opening match on Thursday.

India stand-in vice-captain Cheteshwar Pujara has backed Rahane to get back among the runs in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.

Pujara said Rahane is just one hundred away from roaring back to form as the batter has been working hard in the nets ahead of the series.
