The star batter is all set to return to his Delhi team for the final round of the group stage of the domestic first-class tournament against Railways—and that too after 13 years! Well, we have all seen Virat Kohli making record after record at the international level, but we haven't seen him playing Ranji in a very long time.

Focus will be on Virat Kohli as the former India captain returns to domestic cricket after more than 12 years. The Delhi vs Railways match starts on 9:30 AM IST.

India's batting juggernaut Virat Kohli finally made his much-awaited Ranji Trophy return in the clash against Railways after a gap of 12 years.

The very next ball, Saini fired one into the pads, trapping Ayan Chaudhari plumb in front. Those twin strikes gave Delhi some momentum, leaving Railways at 182 for seven at tea. Saini had removed opener Vivek Singh earlier in the day with a ball that seamed back in to dislodge the timber.

Rishabh Pant, too, had declined to become the Ranji Team captain for their last game in the current round of the Ranji Trophy fixtures.

Whether Kohli scores a century, a double, or even a triple, it hardly raises eyebrows. But the moment he falls cheaply, his ever-growing critics will pounce.

Preparations were being made to telecast the game, more stands than usual were being readied for fans, and players on both sides were excited to be part of his first Ranji Trophy game since 2012

Indian cricket icon Virat Kohli's return to Ranji Trophy has left the Arun Jaitley Stadium massively crowded in a rare view from a domestic match in the country.
