Virat Kohli has returned to Delhi Ranji team after 13 years.
New Delhi. Star batsman Virat Kohli has been included in the Delhi team for two matches of Ranji Trophy Round Two. Whether Kohli will play the match or not depends on his availability. Right-handed batsman Virat Kohli’s recent tour of Australia was not special. He could score 190 runs in 9 innings which included a century. Virat had scored an unbeaten century in the first innings of the first Test match played in Perth. After this, his bat remained calm in the remaining four Test matches. He kept getting out in the same manner again and again. Rishabh Pant refused to captain Delhi. Pant also gave the reason for not becoming captain.
Virat Kohli has been included in the Delhi team for the next two matches while Rishabh Pant has also returned. Virat Kohli was out in the same manner 8 times in the Border Gavaskar Test series on Australia tour. Kohli returned to the pavilion after hitting his bat on the ball going outside the off stump. The 36-year-old player’s Test form has seen a decline in the last five years and he has scored only five centuries.
That’s why Pant refused to become captain
Pant said that he does not want to become the captain. The Indian wicketkeeper said that he does not want to affect the balance of the team. He said that if he becomes the captain, it will not be good for the team because Ayush Badoni has been captaining the team this season. That’s why he wants to let him remain the captain. DDCA management took note of these things of Pant and kept Badoni as the captain.

It cannot be said right now whether Virat Kohli will play the match against Saurashtra on January 23 or not. Kohli last played a Ranji match in 2012. If he plays, it will be the first time in 13 years that he will play a Ranji match. On the other hand, Pant’s name was also included in the team for the match against Saurashtra and Railways. If Pant plays the match against Saurashtra, he will play a Ranji match for the first time in seven years. Ayush Badoni has been made the captain of the team.
