Delhi: The biggest discussion in the match being played between Delhi and Railways at Arun Jaitley Stadium between Delhi and Railways in 2024-25 was about Virat Kohli’s return to domestic cricket after 12 years. However, Kohli’s return was not memorable, because during the second day’s game, he was dismissed cheaply in the first innings. Himanshu Sangwan, a right -handed fast bowler playing for the railway, sent him to the pavilion.
How was Virat Kohli out?
In the 28th over of Delhi’s innings, Virat Kohli achieved a boundary by putting a brilliant drive on the third ball. Seeing this shot, it seemed that Kohli had returned to his rhythm and the fans expected a big innings from him. But, on the next ball, Sangwan threw a tremendous delivery, causing Kohli to completely dodge and the ball started going into the stumps.
