How To Watch Virat Kohli’s Ranji Match Vs Railways LIVE: Delhi’s own Virat Kohli is back on home soil, ready to play in the Ranji Trophy after more than 12 years. On Tuesday, Kohli joined his first-class team for a training session at Delhi’s iconic Firoz Shah Kotla Stadium, rekindling memories of his early days. Delhi will face Railways in the Group D match at Arun Jaitley Stadium in the national capital.
For most of Delhi’s squad, except pacer Navdeep Saini, this will be the first time playing alongside Kohli—someone they’ve only seen on television or heard about as the young talent who evolved into the ‘King’ of Indian cricket. Over the past decade and a half, Kohli has become one of the most recognizable figures in world cricket, even featuring in presentations for the sport’s inclusion in the Olympics.
How can you watch Virat Kohli during the Delhi vs Railways match?
The excitement surrounding Kohli’s return to domestic cricket has led to a change in broadcast plans. Originally, this match wasn’t part of the streaming schedule. However, due to the star power of Virat Kohli and the anticipated viewership, JioCinema is now making arrangements to broadcast it. Kohli’s presence has led to an adjustment in the schedule, which typically focuses on a single televised match and a few streamed ones per round. This round’s featured match was supposed to be Karnataka vs Haryana, highlighted by KL Rahul’s participation.
However, with Kohli playing, a new decision was made to livestream the Delhi vs Railways match, much to the delight of his fans. “JioCinema will stream the game live, so fans across the country can tune in to watch Virat Kohli in action,” a BCCI official confirmed.
