Delhi vs Railways Match in Ranji Trophy: Virat Kohli is set to mark his return to the Ranji Trophy after 13 years as he will feature in Delhi’s upcoming match against Railways.
While other Indian stars like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant played in the last round of matches from January 23, Kohli missed Delhi’s previous match due to neck pain.
However, last week he confirmed his availability for Delhi’s last league match against Railways. It will be played from January 30 to February 2 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Kohli last featured in the Ranji Trophy in 2012, when he played under Virender Sehwag against Uttar Pradesh. In that game, Kohli scored 14 and 43, but Delhi lost the match.
The 36-year-old is now set to return to the Ranji Trophy after a 13-year gap. This development involving Kohli and other Indian players comes in after the BCCI made it mandatory for the centrally contracted Indian cricketers to take part in domestic cricket whenever they are available.

Earlier, the Delhi vs Railways match was not part of the broadcasting roster, as three other marquee Ranji games were slated to be broadcast – Karnataka vs Haryana, Bengal vs Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir vs Baroda. However, once Kohli confirmed his availability, the broadcasters made logistical changes and added the Delhi vs Railways match as part of their live coverage.

The Delhi vs Railways match, which will include Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy, will be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website from 9:30 AM IST on January 30.
Meanwhile, Kohli worked with former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar at a Reliance cricket facility in Alibaug over the last week. Upon his return from Australia, where he got out eight times edging the ball to the wicketkeeper and the cordon, Kohli turned toward Bangar for help.
It was during Bangar’s time as India’s batting coach that Kohli attained his peak from 2015-2019. In the videos from their net sessions in Alibaug, Kohli is seen working on his backfoot game.
