Virat Kohli’s Ranji Trophy Participation: Will He Play in the Upcoming Matches?

Will Virat Kohli Play in Ranji Trophy Matches?

Team India’s unexpected loss in the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy has raised questions about the batting performances, with top-order batsmen failing to deliver in crucial moments. In response, the BCCI has mandated that players participate in domestic cricket. Rohit Sharma has already been seen practicing with the Mumbai squad at Wankhede Stadium. Participation could be key for maintaining form and preparing for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Will Virat Kohli play in the Ranji Trophy Matches?

Stepping Stone of Indian Cricketers

The Ranji Trophy is a first-class Indian cricket tournament that provides quality opportunities to grow as a player. Many Indian players have found their path toward career growth by playing Ranji Trophy, Virat Kohli has a significant record in the Ranji Trophy as well.

He has played 155 matches and 258 innings, he has scored a total of 11,479 runs at an average of 48.23, with his best score of 254 not out. Apart from the numbers, the Ranji Trophy helps sustain and endure players’ skills and helps players refine their skills.

With the BCCI mandating participation in domestic cricket, this move ensures not only the veterans benefit from this, but also the upcoming talent for the national squad as well.

Virat Kohli’s Participation in Ranji Trophy

Virat Kohli’s participation in the upcoming Ranji Trophy matches as of now is uncertain, although he is expected to join the Delhi team in Rajkot for training, even if he doesn’t play the match. If he does play, it will mark his first Ranji match for Delhi since 2012.

Kohli has informed the BCCI medical staff about a neck issue that will prevent him from playing in the next round of Ranji Trophy matches starting January 23. Kohli who received treatment on January 8 to treat the pain, continues to experience discomfort. This could rule him out of Delhi’s match in the Ranji Trophy. Although, fans are excited to watch him play again in Ranji Trophy, time will tell if he will play the match or not.
