India captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday dropped hints that he may just make a return from injury in Royal Challengers Bangalore's Indian Premier League encounter against Mumbai Indians on April 14.

Kohli posted a video on his instagram account of his gym session. He was seen doing a weightlifting clean and jerk drill.

He was seen lifting weights effortlessly which is an indicator that he is slowly and surely regaining full strength in his shoulders.

"Can't wait to get back onto the field. Almost there now ??????. 14th April ?," his post although had a question mark which means that his return is still not 100 percent confirmed.

Kohli injured his shoulder while fielding during the third Test against Australia at Ranchi. He subsequently missed the fourth Test in Dharamsala.

The Delhi batsman has time and again said that Indian cricket is his primary focus and he would only be back when he is 120 percent fit.
