Kohli’s first Ranji Trophy innings in 13 years lasted just 15 balls, further highlighting his ongoing struggle and adding fuel to the ongoing debate about his form. The 5000-strong crowd that had gathered to see Kohli was entertained for a brief moment, but when Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan bowled him out in the 28th over of Delhi’s first innings, many spectators left.
