Ranji Trophy 2024-25: Virat Kohli felicitated by DDCA for playing 100 Test matches
Virat Kohli was felicitated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) after the second day’s play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy match between Railways and Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday.
Kohli was honoured for playing 100 Test matches for India, a milestone he achieved against Sri Lanka in March 2022 at Mohali. The 36-year-old was presented with a shawl and a memento by DDCA president Rohan Jaitley.
Kohli is only among three players from Delhi to have played 100 or more Tests for India, the other two being fast bowler Ishant Sharma (105) and opening batter Virender Sehwag (104).
Currently, Kohli is featuring in his first Ranji Trophy in almost 13 years, having last played in India’s premier domestic First-Class competition back in November 2012.
However, Kohli failed to live up to the hype of the occasion as he was clean bowled for just six runs by pacer Himanshu Sangwan.
Delhi fought back to end the day at 334 for seven, leading Railways by 93 runs. Its skipper Ayush Badoni scored 99, falling agonisingly short of a century, while Sumit Mathur remained unbeaten on 78.
