himanshu sangwan Witnesses Kohli's Return

In a highly anticipated move, Virat Kohli has made his return to domestic cricket after a 12-year hiatus, playing for Delhi in a Ranji Trophy match against Railways, with thousands of fans gathering at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi to witness the event.

Kohli's return to domestic cricket has generated significant excitement among fans and experts, who are hoping to see an improvement in his form, which has been struggling in Test cricket, with an average of 30.72 since 2020, compared to 54.97 before 2019. This move is seen as an attempt to reignite his struggling Test cricket form, and his performance will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.

The Ranji Trophy season, which runs from January 5 to March 10, features 32 teams and has already seen several exciting match-ups, with teams like Karnataka, Mumbai, and Delhi facing crucial games. Karnataka needs a win with a bonus point to qualify, while Mumbai leads by 67 runs against Meghalaya, and Delhi is set to bat against Railways after dismissing them for 241. Other teams, like Saurashtra and Tamil Nadu, are also facing challenging targets.

Kohli, at 36, has 123 Test caps, 30 centuries, and an average of 46.85, and is known for his intensity and commitment to the game. However, his appearances in the Ranji Trophy have been decreasing, and some have questioned the relevance of the tournament, especially considering the influence of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite this, Kohli's return to domestic cricket is seen as a significant development, and his performance will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.

As the Ranji Trophy season progresses, fans will be eagerly watching Kohli's performance, as well as the progress of other teams, to see who will emerge as the top contenders for the title. With several exciting match-ups and close games, the tournament is shaping up to be an exciting one, and Kohli's return to domestic cricket has added an extra layer of excitement to the event.
