DDCA to roll out special arrangements for Virat Kohli's Ranji Trophy comeback against Railways: Reports

On January 30, Virat Kohli, India's biggest cricketing star, will play for Delhi against Railways in the Ranji Trophy. Following a dismal Test campaign in which the star faced criticism from all quarters, this choice was made. At first, it was anticipated that Kohli would participate in Delhi's match against Saurashtra, but he was sidelined due to a neck pain. Despite this, there has been a lot of excitement surrounding Virat Kohli's homecoming home.

In light of his large fan base, the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) is planning some special events. This is not the first time a well-known cricket player has done something similar. The Mumbai vs. J&K Ranji Trophy match, which featured Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, has 500 additional seats, the MCA had previously mentioned. 

Similarly, the DDCA is making plans to accommodate 10,000 spectators for free to guarantee a seamless and organized match when Virat Kohli makes his Ranji Trophy comeback. The last time Virat Kohli played Ranji was against Uttar Pradesh, which was more than ten years ago. Despite his 14 and 43-run first and second innings, respectively, Delhi lost by six wickets. Since Kohli was already well-known abroad, his domestic cricket career suffered as his international obligations took precedence.

Virat Kohli returns to the domestic circuit due to poor performance in BGT

After a poor performance and struggling to score runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Kohli's recent Test performances have come under attack, and now he's making his comeback in the domestic cricket. His technique has come under scrutiny, so a return will give him a chance to settle in and rebuild his confidence. India is getting ready for an ODI series against England and the ICC Champions Trophy, so Kohli will be hoping that his time in the Ranji Trophy will provide him the opportunity to hone his abilities in preparation for these important international assignments.
