Kohli’s Return to Ranji Trophy
Virat Kohli last played a Ranji Trophy match for Delhi in November 2012 against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad. His participation in this match follows BCCI’s policy, which encourages Indian players to play domestic cricket when they are available.
His presence attracted a massive crowd. To manage the situation, security personnel were placed near the boundary ropes of the North and West stands. However, during the 12th over, a fan breached security and ran towards Kohli to touch his feet.
As for the match, Railways were bowled out for 241 runs. By the end of the day, Delhi had scored 41 runs for the loss of one wicket in 10 overs. Virat Kohli will come to bat on the second day.
