A Grand Return After 12 Years

It has been over a decade since Kohli last played in the Ranji Trophy. His last appearance dates back to the 2012-13 season, making this return a nostalgic moment for fans and a significant boost for domestic cricket.

Given his stature in world cricket, this match could also be the last time Kohli plays a domestic game, adding to the excitement and emotions surrounding his return.

DDCA has announced that 10000 fans will be allowed at the stadium for free with first come first serve basis.

Other Matches to Be Streamed LIVE

Apart from Kohli’s match, three other key Ranji Trophy matches will also be streamed live on JioCinema:

  • Bengal vs Punjab
  • Karnataka vs Haryana
  • Baroda vs Jammu & Kashmir

Why This Match is Special?

This is more than just a Ranji Trophy fixture for the fans. Kohli’s return could attract record-breaking viewership for domestic cricket, something rarely seen outside of IPL or international matches.

Moreover, Kohli, who has struggled for runs, will look to score some runs ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025 to get himself ready. With Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal failing to score runs in their return to domestic cricket, it will be interesting to see how Kohli goes about his business.
