About 13 years later, Team India opener Virat Kohli has returned to domestic cricket by the Ranji Trophy match. Kohli has been playing for the Delhi team against the railway since January 30. At the same time, the fans of Virat Kohli have created a new story in this Ranji match being played at Arun Jaitley Stadium. In fact, his reign was clearly seen during this Ranji return match of Kohli, a resident of Paschim Vihar in Delhi. Delhi’s local boy Kohli is counted among the best batsmen in the world, but when he went to play on his home ground, there was a different craze among the cricket fans to see a glimpse of him.
Kohli, who scored a century in the first match in the recently played Border Gavaskar Trophy, scored just 190 runs in 9 innings. After which the Indian team lost the series 3–1 against the Kangaroos. After this defeat, the BCCI had to issue a strict guideline, in view of which it was necessary for all star players to play domestic cricket. In this episode, from Rohit Sharma to Yashasvi Jaiswal played domestic cricket. So where Virat Kohli was also going to stay behind, he also had to play domestic cricket under the BCCI guideline. But when Kohli landed in Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, a different kind of charm was seen about him. The audience reached the stadium from 3 am.
At the same time, Delhi and District Cricket Association i.e. DDCA had speculated about 15,000 spectators in Kohli’s homecoming match, which is a record in the Ranji Trophy match. But Kohli’s magic went on that a large number of people reached the stadium. At the same time, a fan of Kohli also reached Kohli during the match during the match. Later the paramilitary force had to be deployed for security in the match.
Let us tell you why the number of fans in Arun Jaitley Stadium increased so much?
It goes on to say that, if the game was to start at 9.30 am, then the queues of the audience started to start long before that. DDCA opened the first 6 thousand capacity Gautam Gambhir Stand, but in view of the crowd, DDCA also had to open a Bishan Singh Bedi stand with a capacity of 14 thousand.
Meanwhile, PM Modi’s convoy was also passing through the same place who went to Rajghat to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary.
DDCA Gave cleaning
At the same time, DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma told PTI that, I have been associated with Delhi cricket for more than 30 years, but never seen such a view in the Ranji Trophy match. This proves that Kohli’s popularity is no match.
