Virat Kohli Ranji Trophy 2024-25 Update: Virat Kohli could not perform well in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 during the Australia tour.

He may play for Delhi in the second phase of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. Let’s take a look at when Kohli has previously participated in Ranji.
The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has included Virat Kohli’s name in the list of potential players for the Ranji Trophy. According to media reports, DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma said, “Virat Kohli should take inspiration from Mumbai players. He should also play domestic cricket when he is available. Mumbai has always had a culture where their big players participate in Ranji matches whenever they are free.”
