Kohli’s return is part of a broader effort to rein in the superstar culture, but on this day, Delhi was there for its superstar

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.

Virat Kohli's highly anticipated return to the Ranji Trophy for the match against Railways represents a pivotal moment in his career.

Virat Kohli made a return to play a Ranji Trophy match for Delhi after a decade, attracting a massive crowd of nearly 15,000 fans. Security was tight

The best way to reach the stadium is via metro. The nearest metro station to the Arun Jaitley Stadium is Delhi Gate (Violet line). Gate No 5 is not even literally 100 metres away from Gate No 16 and 17, which will be open for the spectators.

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!
