Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy after 13 years has amped everyone up. The game will be televised, and around ten thousand people are expected to be present in the Arun Jaitley Stadium to catch a glimpse of Kohli in action. But it isn’t just fans that are excited.
Railways motivated to beat Virat Kohli’s Delhi
Delhi is taking on Railways, and the opposition captain, Pratham Singh, says that he and his team are motivated to do even better now that they know Kohli is playing.
“It’s more of an inspiration (that Virat Kohli is playing), and we’ll be more motivated to do better because there will be a lot of eyeballs on the game. He (Virat Kohli) is the legend of the game, so we will just focus upon our strengths. I think if we bowl in the right areas, then it will be a bit tricky for the batsman to score,” Pratham Singh told PTI.
