Doubts Behind Kohli's Out in Ranji Trophy?

After 12 years, Virat Kohli made his return to the Ranji Trophy but was dismissed for just 6 runs by Railway pacer Himanshu Sangwan, a moment that sparked significant debate in the cricket world. Sangwan shared some interesting details behind this wicket. He mentioned, “Before the match, we were informed that Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant would be playing for Delhi, but we didn't know the match would be broadcast live.” He continued, “At that time, I was the captain of our team.”

Sangwan revealed a small but interesting piece of advice he received from the team bus driver: “While traveling on the bus, our driver told me – ‘You know, if you bowl to Virat Kohli on the fourth or fifth stump line, he will get out.’ I heard this but decided to focus only on my strengths.” Focusing on his strengths, Sangwan successfully bowled Kohli out.

Sangwan also found Kohli’s congratulatory gesture intriguing. "After our innings ended, Virat Kohli came to the ground. He looked at me and said, 'You bowled really well,' and said this while bringing his sponsor Ayush Badhoni along." Sangwan also shared that he wanted to take a photo with Kohli during the lunch break. He went to the Delhi dressing room, took a photo, and recalled Kohli laughing and saying, "Oh, tere, maza aa gaya tujhe toh."

Thus, after 12 years, Kohli's return to the Ranji Trophy, where he was dismissed for just 6 runs, became a significant milestone in Himanshu Sangwan’s career. For more sports news, visit Vaartha.
