This Ranji Trophy Elite Group D match saw Delhi elect to field first against Railways under Ayush Badoni's captaincy.

Railways, batting first, faced early setbacks, stumbling to 66/5. However, they found stability through a crucial partnership between Upendra Yadav and former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player, Karn Sharma. Navdeep Saini, a former Team India bowler, claimed the third wicket, igniting celebrations led by an exuberant Kohli. Young fast bowler, Money Grewal, also impressed, taking consecutive wickets and nearly securing a hat-trick.

The stadium buzzed with anticipation as Kohli's presence attracted a massive crowd, with fans gathering from the early hours of Thursday morning. The fervor was such that it led to a security breach when an eager fan rushed onto the field to touch Kohli's feet, underscoring the cricketer's immense popularity and the emotional connection he shares with fans.

Kohli's return to domestic cricket after 12 years has not only boosted the morale of the Delhi team but also reignited the passion of cricket enthusiasts. This match marks a significant moment in Ranji Trophy history, celebrating Kohli's enduring impact on the sport and his unwavering bond with fans.
