Virat Kohli’s highest score for Delhi came in 2008 Nissar Trophy against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited when the star batter scored 197 in the second innings.

The star batter is all set to return to his Delhi team for the final round of the group stage of the domestic first-class tournament against Railways—and that too after 13 years! Well, we have all seen Virat Kohli making record after record at the international level, but we haven't seen him playing Ranji in a very long time.

Virat Kohli’s magnetic presence has not only lifted the profile of Ranji Trophy but also the Delhi team’s sagging spirits as it eyes a winning end to an otherwise listless campaign in the final group D game against Railways starting here on Thursday.

Remarkably, it was at the same Arun Jaitely Stadium where Kohli began his journey in first-class cricket in November 2006

Virat Kohli's last Ranji Trophy appearance for Delhi dates back to an entirely different era in Indian cricket, before his meteoric rise in the Tst set-up over the previos decade.

Preparations were being made to telecast the game, more stands than usual were being readied for fans, and players on both sides were excited to be part of his first Ranji Trophy game since 2012
