Legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli landed in Delhi on Monday night to take part in his domestic side’s upcoming Ranji Trophy match against Railways. Delhi will face Railways in the Elite Group D match of the ongoing Ranji Trophy season at Arun Jaitley Stadium from Thursday, January 30, to February 2.

Kohli reached Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday morning in his black Porsche SUV and trained with Delhi Ranji Trophy players.

In several videos going viral on the internet, Kohli can be seen training at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground.

Kohli, who is one of the greatest batters of all time, hasn’t played a Ranji Trophy match in the last 12 years. His last appearance in the premier domestic competition for Delhi was against Uttar Pradesh in Mohan Nagar in 2012.

Kohli was named in Delhi’s Ranji Trophy squad for the last group stage match on Monday. He will play under the leadership of Ayush Badoni. Kohli missed Delhi’s last match against Saurashtra due to neck pain.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant played for Delhi against Saurashtra in Rajkot but failed to do much with the bat. He scored 1 run from 10 balls in the first innings and 17 in the second before being sent back to the pavilion by Ravindra Jadeja.

Delhi’s squad: Ayush Badoni (C), Virat Kohli, Pranav Rajvanshi (WK), Sanat Sangwan, Arpit Rana, Mayank Gusain, Shivam Sharma, Sumit Mathur, Vansh Bedi (WK), Money Grewal, Harsh Tyagi, Siddhant Sharma, Navdeep Saini, Yash Dhull, Gagan Vats, Jonty Sidhu, Himmat Singh, Vaibhav Kandpal, Rahul Gehlot, Jitesh Singh.
