Virat Kohli’s Disappointing Return to Red-Ball Domestic Cricket
Star Indian batter Virat Kohli’s much-anticipated return to red-ball domestic cricket after over 12 years ended in disappointment during Delhi’s Ranji Trophy match against Railways. Kohli, batting at No. 4, faced a mere 15 balls, scoring only six runs before being bowled by Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan.
A Chilly Morning at Arun Jaitley Stadium
Thousands of fans braved the cold morning at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to witness Kohli in action. After hitting a crisp boundary, Kohli attempted an off-side drive to a delivery that swung back sharply. Misjudging the movement, he was clean bowled, leading to celebrations among Railways players and stunned silence from the crowd.
Delhi Struggles After Kohli’s Dismissal
Kohli’s early exit left Delhi struggling at 86 for 3 in 27.4 overs. Earlier, Railways had posted a total of 241 in their first innings, with wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav anchoring the innings with a commendable 95 runs. Delhi’s bowlers had initially restricted Railways, but Kohli’s dismissal marked a turning point in the match.
Looking Ahead
Fans had high hopes for Kohli to boost Delhi’s performance, but his premature exit was a significant letdown. As the match progresses, supporters will be keenly watching for a stronger showing from Delhi in their second innings. Will they recover and take control? Only time will tell.
