It was not the ideal comeback Virat Kohli would have hoped. The star Indian batter made his Ranji Trophy return against the Railways after a prolonged 12 years, but he didn't last long at the crease as he could manage only six runs before Himanshu Sangwan cleaned him up at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.


The 36-year-old's recent struggles have been clearly evident, and he decided to don the Delhi colours after BCCI made it mandatory for players to take part in domestic tournaments to be eligible for selection. Virat attracted a huge number of crowd as people flocked to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in large numbers.
