Virat Kohli returned to the Delhi Ranji side after 13 years, creating excitement as a huge crowd came at the Arun Jaitley Stadium to see him in action. The crowd was excited to watch him play. But Kohli disappointed the crowd, getting dismissed for just 6 runs by Railway Ranji pacer Himanshu Sangwan.

Virat Kohli came to the crease in the 24th over after the dismissal of Yash Dhull, and his entry was met with a huge cheer from the crowd. Kohli looked unsettled early on, but the Railways bowling unit couldn't capitalize, giving him a few chances with deliveries and extras, including one four hit by Kohli. However, he couldn't convert this innings into a big score in his Ranji comeback match. Facing just 15 balls, he managed only 6 runs before being bowled out by 29-year-old Himanshu Sangwan.

Kohli, committed to playing an off-drive, faced a ball pitched in full length on the fourth stump line. The ball swung in, and Kohli couldn't cover the swing. It got through the gap between bat and pad, hitting the off stump and sending the stumps flying into the air, dismissing him cheaply. Kohli's form continued to dip, leaving fans disappointed. However, the dismissal also gained attention on social media, as Himanshu Sanwan's celebration after getting Kohli out went viral.

He counterattacked, supported by a half-century from Sumit Mathur, which helped Delhi to take the lead in the chase of Railway's first innings total of 241 runs.
