Virat Kohli Dismissed For 6 In Ranji Trophy Comeback, Fans Left Disappointed

New Delhi [India], January 31: Virat Kohli’s much-awaited return to the Ranji Trophy ended quickly, as he was dismissed for just 6 runs on Friday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Kohli briefly showcased his skill with a stylish straight drive off Himanshu Sangwan just a ball before his dismissal. However, the very next delivery proved his undoing—angling in on a full length just outside off. As Kohli went for the drive, the ball seamed in sharply, finding the gap between bat and pad. It clipped the off-stump, sending the bails flying and leaving the crowd in disbelief. For Sangwan, it was a moment to savor, claiming the prized wicket in front of a packed stadium.

Kohli’s brief stay at the crease lasted just 15 balls, including one boundary, before his departure left Delhi at 87/3, still trailing Railways by 140 runs.

The crowd, which had gathered in large numbers to witness a Kohli masterclass, was left disappointed. However, there’s still hope for a comeback, as Kohli could get another chance to make his mark if Delhi gets a second innings.

Day 1 of the Group D clash saw the stadium buzzing with excitement, a rare sight for domestic cricket, with over 15,000 fans in attendance. Some additional gates were opened, and security was heightened to manage the crowd.

The match also saw a fan breach security, rushing onto the field to meet Kohli. Despite the intrusion, security swiftly intervened, and Kohli requested them to treat the fan with kindness, preventing any harsh action.
