Kohli in Ranji: Fans allowed, high security, no telecast

Kohli has been officially named in the Delhi squad, captained by Ayush Badoni, for their final group match against Railways starting January 30

This will be Kohli`s first Ranji Trophy match in over a decade, with his last appearance being against Uttar Pradesh in 2012 at Ghaziabad’s Mohan Nagar ground

Back in 2012, Kohli was a rising star; now, he is a cricketing legend, a former India captain, and boasts an incredible 80 international centuries

Ranji matches are usually free for spectators with limited seating, but for Kohli`s return, DDCA will open three stands at the Ambedkar Stadium End

Kohli`s return to domestic cricket is being viewed as a rare opportunity for fans to witness the maestro in action on his home ground after over a decade

Even if the BCCI opts for live streaming, it will pose logistical challenges, requiring a multi-camera setup and a production crew within the next 48 hours
