Virat Kohli’s much-anticipated return to domestic cricket didn’t go as planned, as the star batter was dismissed for just 6 runs off 15 balls during Delhi’s Ranji Trophy match against Railways. Playing at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Kohli was bowled by pacer Himanshu Sangwan, who sent his off-stump cartwheeling.

The Indian batting legend had struck a crisp straight drive for four on the previous delivery, but Sangwan adjusted his length, deceiving Kohli and knocking over his stumps. The dismissal left the packed stadium in stunned silence, with many disheartened fans leaving immediately.

Fans Queue Up from 3 AM to Witness Kohli’s Return

The excitement around Kohli’s homecoming was evident as thousands of supporters gathered at the stadium early in the morning, with some queuing as early as 3 AM. The electrifying atmosphere built up as Kohli interacted with fans, but the joy was short-lived following his early exit.

Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy was highly anticipated, with hopes of witnessing a masterclass from the Indian stalwart. However, his early dismissal left fans longing for more as Delhi looked to recover from the setback.
