Delhi’s Ranji Trophy squad for the upcoming season features a major boost with the inclusion of star batter Virat Kohli. However, notable by his absence is Rishabh Pant, who continues to recover from injuries sustained in a car accident earlier this year.
Ayush Badoni will continue to lead the team, bringing youthful energy and consistency to the squad. Known for his leadership potential and solid performances in domestic cricket, Badoni’s captaincy has been reaffirmed by the Delhi selectors.
Virat Kohli’s addition to the squad has generated immense excitement among cricket fans and is expected to provide much-needed experience and stability to the team. This marks Kohli’s return to domestic cricket after a considerable hiatus, as he has been predominantly focused on international commitments.
Rishabh Pant, still recovering from his injuries, was unavailable for selection, leaving a gap in the team’s wicketkeeping and middle-order batting lineup. The selectors have opted for promising talents to fill the void left by Pant, ensuring a balanced mix of experience and youth in the squad.
Delhi’s Ranji Trophy campaign will kick off with their first match against Tamil Nadu on February 10. With Kohli in the lineup and Badoni at the helm, the team hopes to make a strong statement in this year’s tournament. Fans will be eager to see how Kohli’s presence influences Delhi’s performance on the domestic stage.
