For the first time in over a decade, Virat Kohli made his Ranji Trophy return, attracting massive attention at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Fans began gathering as early as 3 AM, eager to watch the star batter in action. During the ongoing Delhi vs Railways match, a fan breached security and ran onto the field to meet Kohli, prompting the deployment of paramilitary forces to handle the situation.
Kohli, who had last played in the tournament in 2012, remained calm, helping the fan up before security escorted him away. Over 1,500 spectators were expected, but the crowd was much larger. Delhi pacer Navdeep Saini expressed pride in sharing the dressing room with Kohli, whose presence has motivated the team.
