Organisers Take Huge Decision As Fans Line Up To Watch Virat Kohli's Ranji Trophy Return

Virat Kohli confirmed to play a Ranji Trophy match after 12 years as Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first against Railways in their Elite Group D match of the ongoing season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday. Kohli's last Ranji Trophy game for Delhi came against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad in November 2012. But following the BCCI's policy for Indian players to play domestic cricket when possible, Kohli turn out for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy. His return comes at a time when Delhi, at sixth place with 14 points, have a very slim mathematical chance to enter the Ranji Trophy knockouts. They need an outright win over fourth-ranked Railways, but that may not be enough to enter the knockouts.

Batter Gets Run Out In Bizarre Way, Fans Call It 'Unluckiest Dismissal' Of 2025. Watch

Cricket has its fair share of bizarre ways of getting out.
