Virat Kohli's Wicket In Ranji Comeback: Virat Kohli's much-awaited Ranji Trophy return after 12 years turned into a damp squib as the India legend could only last 15 balls at the crease. The former India captain was clean-bowled by Himanshu Sangwan for just 6 runs on Day 2 of the Delhi vs Railways Ranji Trophy 2024-25 clash on January 31 (Friday).

As Kohli walked into a roaring crowd and a wave of applause from his home supporters, he struggled initially before hitting the Railways seamer Himanshu Sangwan for a fancy-looking straight-drive for a boundary.

However, the Railways bowler staged the perfect comeback as Sangwan clean bowled Kohli, sending his off-stump flying.

Kohli moved towards an incoming delivery that pitched slightly fuller than a good length, attempting a drive across the line. The ball kept marginally low, slipping past his bat to hit the off-stump.

Virat Kohli's highly anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy after over 12 years sparked a grand eruption of excitement from the crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium during the Delhi vs Railways match, with chants of 'Kohli, Kohli' echoing in the venue. 

Kohli's return to the Ranji Trophy, with his last appearance being in 2012, is part of the BCCI’s push to encourage Indian stars to play in domestic cricket and highlight the importance of first-class cricket for national team selection. Players like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have also participated in the tournament after BCCI's directive.
