The victory against world no 1 India in the ongoing five-Test series is on par with beating Australia in the Ashes, said England coach Trevor Bayliss.
Kohli did not take the field on the fourth day of the second Test because of a back injury, however, he batted in the second innings even though he looked in discomfort.
Stokes has already missed six Test matches, including last week's against India at Lord's, which clashed with his court case, and 11 limited-overs fixtures for England, as a result of the drunken brawl in Bristol.
Bayliss said Woakes looks primed to be a natural replacement for James Anderson when the time comes for the 36-year-old to hang up his boots.
Bayliss said he expects the Indian team to learn quickly from the mistakes committed while tackling the moving ball.
Head coach Trevor Bayliss will spend the period watching the England Lions, some County Championship cricket and the One-Day Cup final on June 30.

The England batsmen struck five half-centuries on their way to a 192-run victory in a four-day warm-up match against Cricket Australia XI.
