Fri Jan 31 19:21:52 UTC 2025: ## Kohli’s Early Dismissal Casts Shadow Over Delhi’s Ranji Trophy Match
**New Delhi, [Date]:** The Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium took an interesting turn today. Railways, after being bowled out for 241 (Upendra Yadav 95, Karan Sharma 50), saw Delhi’s chase stumble early. Delhi’s bowling attack was spearheaded by Navdeep Saini (3 wickets), Sumit Mathur (3 wickets), Siddhanth Sharma (2 wickets), and Manni Grewal (2 wickets).
Delhi’s innings began poorly, with openers Arpit Rana (10) and Sanat Sangwan (30) dismissed cheaply. Yash Dhul’s 32 run knock also ended early. The spotlight, however, was on Virat Kohli, who after a disastrous Border-Gavaskar Trophy, was playing in the Ranji Trophy as per BCCI mandate for all Team India players. Kohli, back in the Ranji Trophy after a 12-year gap, managed only 6 runs before being clean bowled by Sangwan. His early dismissal, met with stunned silence from the crowd, left many spectators disheartened and leaving the stadium early. The match continues.
