The wait ended. Very rarely you must have seen that millions of Indian cricket fans are desperate about the domestic match more than the international match. But this is happening, the reason is Virat Kohli, who is returning to the Ranji Trophy after 12 years. The contest between Delhi vs Railway has started at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi captain Ayush Badoni has decided to bowl first after winning the toss.
Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli’s ‘star power’ Arun Jaitley was seen outside and outside the Stadium where thousands of spectators gathered to see him playing in the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways.
Virat Kohli’s craze in Delhi
Kohli is playing the Ranji Trophy match 13 years. The DDCA (Delhi and District Cricket Association) had speculated about the arrival of about ten thousand spectators in Kohli’s ‘homecoming’ match, which is a record in the Ranji Trophy match. Kohli’s magic is such that all the speculations were left and more than this people came.
Game 9. The 30 was to be started at 30 and the queues of the audience began to start long back. The DDCA opened a ‘Gautam Gambhir Stand’ with a capacity of 6000, but in view of the crowd, a capacity of 11000 had to be opened ‘Bishan Singh Bedi Stand’.
A former India cricketer on the field said, “I have never seen anything like this in the Ranji Trophy. Even during their play days, the audience has seen the audience coming to watch domestic cricket. All this happened for a player. ”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy was also passing through the same place who went to Rajghat to pay homage to him on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma told PTI, “I have been associated with Delhi cricket for more than 30 years but did not see such a view in the Ranji Trophy match. This proves that Kohli’s popularity is no harm.
He said, “This also became more challenging because the audience was coming to the stadium at the same time when there was a VIP movement of Prime Minister Modi. After stringent protocols and police instructions, we had to open a second stand for the public. ”
After filling the Gautam Gambhir Stand, the bottom of the Bishan Singh Bedi Stadium was also full. More than 12000 spectators were on the ground at the time of the toss. The noise of ‘Kohli Kohli’ was heard from a distance when the former captain of India came on the field with his teammates of the Delhi team.
The audience’s expectation to see Kohli batting was not immediately fulfilled as Delhi won the toss and chose bowling. But Kohli’s being on the ground was enough for the audience.
Kohli was fielding in the second slip and every movement was applause. In the twelfth over, a very excited audience broke the security circle and ran towards them and touched their feet. The security personnel later took him out.
The school children in a group of fans of Kohli said, “We have taken leave from school to see Kohli.” A housewife said, “I came here with my son at six in the morning.” I did not know from which gate to go inside. I have come to see Kohli playing. ”
