In an exciting development for cricket fans, former India captain Virat Kohli is ready to return to domestic cricket after a long gap of 12 years. The 36-year-old star will represent Delhi in their final Ranji Trophy group match against Railways. The match is scheduled to take place on January 30 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
As a special treat for fans, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has announced free entry to the stadium, giving spectators a chance to watch the cricketing legend live in action. However, for those unable to attend, there’s disappointing news—there will be no telecast or live-streaming of the game.
Kohli Back in the Delhi Squad
Kohli, who missed Delhi’s previous match against Saurashtra due to a neck injury, has been declared fit and is officially part of the squad led by Ayush Badoni. His inclusion has brought excitement and anticipation among fans and players alike.
This appearance will mark Kohli’s first domestic match since he last played a Ranji Trophy game against Uttar Pradesh in 2012 at Ghaziabad’s Mohan Nagar ground. His return to the domestic scene is expected to bring a new level of energy to the Delhi team.
A Rare Chance for Fans
With free tickets on offer, fans in Delhi will get a golden opportunity to witness Kohli’s brilliance on the field in a more intimate setting than international matches. The Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to see a surge of supporters eager to cheer for one of India’s greatest cricketers.
As Kohli prepares to don the Delhi jersey once again, cricket lovers are thrilled to see him reconnect with the domestic game—a reminder of where his incredible journey began.
