Virat Kohli’s Domestic Comeback to be Streamed Live
Following India’s disappointing tour of Australia, the BCCI implemented strict policies to ensure top players participate in domestic cricket. As a result, Virat Kohli is set to make his first Ranji Trophy appearance in over a decade, joining other Indian stars like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill in prioritizing domestic cricket.
📺 JioCinema will now live stream the historic moment, ensuring millions of fans don’t miss out on Kohli’s return to Delhi’s red-ball cricket.
Kohli Joins Delhi Camp, Declines Captaincy Role
On Tuesday morning, Kohli joined his Delhi teammates and began his preparations for the Ranji Trophy match. He was seen running, warming up with football, and engaging in net sessions. Interestingly, he was offered the captaincy for the match against Railways, but graciously declined, opting instead to focus on his batting form.
🛠️ Special Training Sessions: To fine-tune his game, Kohli recently worked with former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar—who played a key role in shaping his technique over the years.
🏟️ 10,000 Free Seats for Fans: Recognizing the excitement surrounding Kohli’s comeback, DDCA (Delhi & District Cricket Association) has allocated 10,000 free seats for fans eager to witness the Indian stalwart in action.
Why This Ranji Trophy Match is Crucial for Kohli
Kohli, who has endured a rough patch, will see this match as an opportunity to regain rhythm and confidence ahead of India’s upcoming ODIs against England and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
With no pressure of international cricket, this match could allow Kohli to play freely, focus on his technique, and get valuable game time in red-ball cricket.
