On Wednesday morning, when this reporter reached the Delhi Gate metro station, the closest one to the stadium, the scene was completely different from other Ranji matches. There was a huge crowd both inside and outside the metro station, just like during an IPL match, and was shouting "Kohli, Kohli... RCB, RCB".

Virat Kohli's lookalikes were left disappointed as the India batter could only register six runs off 15 balls, before losing his wicket to Himanshu Sangwan.

Virat Kohli's much-anticipated Ranji Trophy return was cut short when he was bowled for 6 runs by Himanshu Sangwan. Irfan Pathan reflected on the difficulties of domestic cricket, prompting mixed reactions from Kohli's fans who felt Pathan was overly critical.
