Virat Kohli was named in Delhi’s probables list for the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season, marking a potential return to domestic cricket after over a decade.
In a development that has stirred excitement in the cricketing community, former Indian captain Virat Kohli has been named in Delhi’s list of probables for the upcoming 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season. Kohli’s potential return to domestic cricket is notable, as his last appearance in the tournament was over a decade ago during the 2012-13 season. Alongside him, the inclusion of star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant adds further intrigue to Delhi’s squad.
The announcement, made by the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) on September 24, 2024, has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms and cricket circles. The decision was taken during a meeting attended by key officials, including Chairperson Gursharan Singh, selectors K Bhaskar Pillai and Rajeev Vinaik, chief coach Sarandeep Singh, and joint secretary Rajan Manchanda.
Virat Kohli’s Participation In Ranji Trophy Is Unlikely
Kohli’s last Ranji Trophy match came shortly after a successful international stint against New Zealand. His potential return, after such a long gap, has raised several questions, particularly regarding whether he will actually take the field. With international commitments looming, including India’s Test series against New Zealand starting on October 16 in Bengaluru, Kohli’s participation in the domestic tournament remains uncertain.

Rishabh Pant, meanwhile, has a stronger recent connection with domestic cricket, having famously scored the fastest century in Ranji Trophy history during the 2016-17 season against Jharkhand. Pant’s dynamic style and match-winning abilities could prove crucial to Delhi’s campaign, especially as he looks to find form ahead of the international season.
