Kohli’s Short-Lived Ranji Comeback Against Railways
The 36-year-old’s appearance in the Ranji Trophy marked his first in nearly 13 years, with his last game in the tournament coming in November 2012. Kohli’s return had drawn a massive crowd, with over 15,000 fans gathering to watch the star batter in action. However, the mood quickly shifted as Kohli’s early dismissal left the crowd disappointed.
Delhi, who won the toss and chose to field, had already bowled Railways out for 241. They lost just one wicket by Stumps, setting the stage for Kohli’s entrance, which was met with loud cheers. But his departure shortly after Yash Dhull was dismissed deflated the crowd, with many leaving the venue disappointed. Sangwan, having removed Kohli, then sent Sanat Sangwan back to the pavilion for 30, further diminishing Delhi’s momentum.
