Virat Kohli last featured in a Ranji Trophy match in November 2012. Delhi faced Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad during that game. Kohli scored 14 runs in the first innings and added 43 in the second. On both occasions, he was dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Delhi eventually lost the match by six wickets.

The game marked Kohli’s 23rd appearance in the Ranji Trophy. Over his career, the star batter has amassed 1574 runs in the tournament, averaging 50.77, with five centuries to his name. He made his Ranji debut in 2006 against Tamil Nadu and soon became one of Delhi’s go-to players.

Virat Kohli’s Expected Return to Ranji

Kohli was included in Delhi’s provisional squad for the match against Saurashtra in Rajkot but had to pull out due to a neck sprain. He informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) about his unavailability and underwent treatment.

With the BCCI making it mandatory for centrally contracted players to participate in domestic tournaments, the last two rounds of this year’s Ranji Trophy are set to feature several top players. Kohli’s expected return for Delhi’s match against Railways on January 30 is eagerly awaited, as it would mark his first Ranji appearance in over a decade.
