Virat Kohli's foot injury will be monitored ahead of Thursday's one-day international between India and Pakistan.

An MRI scan has confirmed that Virat Kohli suffered no major ligament damage in the one-day international against Pakistan.

Kohli suffered the injury while bowling in the defeat on Sunday and India are awaiting news as to whether the 24-year-old will be available for the second match in Kolata on Thursday.

A statement from the Indian cricket board's secretary, Sanjay Jagdele, said: "All his major ligaments are fine. There is minimal injury fluid in his knee. He will recover after treatment.

"His condition will be monitored, and a decision on whether he will play the second AIRTEL ODI at Kolkata on 3 January 2013, will be taken over the next couple of days."

Kohli was bowled for a duck in the first game in Chennai.
