2 Railways bowlers who can dismiss Virat Kohli on Ranji return

With all eyes on Virat Kohli in the ongoing Delhi vs Railways Ranji Trophy match, many believe he can smash some big runs. However, there are a few quality Railways bowlers who could trouble him on his Ranji return.

The Delhi vs Railways Ranji Trophy match is the only topic of discussion, and why not? Run machine Virat Kohli is back in domestic cricket after a long 13 years, and as expected, all eyes are on him.

As per reports coming from Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, many spectators are already enjoying the game, as Day 1 has begun with Railways currently batting and, rightly said, struggling, having lost five wickets in quick succession.

However, veteran Karan Sharma and wicketkeeper Upendra Yadav are trying to put up a decent total.

But as mentioned above, all eyes will be on King Kohli. It is also a fact that he has not performed particularly well in recent outings for India, which could be the reason he is sharpening his skills in domestic cricket to get some match practice before the Champions Trophy 2025.

Many believe that Champions Trophy could be a make-or-break moment for the greats like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

Speaking solely about Kohli, everyone is expecting a big innings from him as he plays for Delhi, aiming to dominate against Railways. However, this will certainly not be easy, as Railways have quite a few bowlers who can trouble Kohli on his Ranji return. But who are these names with the potential to dismiss him and steal the spotlight? Take a look at all the bowlers who could trouble Virat Kohli in this ongoing Ranji Trophy match.

Karn Sharma

Spinner Karan Sharma is one bowler who can trouble Virat Kohli on his return. Kohli and his struggle against spinners is no secret, especially in the last few years. If we look at his last 43 innings, he has been dismissed 27 times by spinners, and he certainly hasn’t enjoyed much success against them.

Since Sharma is an extremely experienced bowler, having played 90 first-class games and taken 256 wickets, he is surely a player to watch out for. It is also important to mention that Karan was part of RCB in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, so he understands how to bowl to Virat Kohli, making this an exciting contest to watch.

Kunal Yadav

With six games and 20 wickets to his name, Kunal Yadav may not have much experience, but the 25-year-old pacer has been the talk of the town for his perfect line and length. He is currently in red-hot form as well.

In recent times, we have also seen how deliveries outside the off-stump have become a nemesis for Virat Kohli, especially in Australia. Since a player like Kunal, as mentioned, focuses on bowling with discipline, he could make it difficult for Virat Kohli to face such bowlers.

Even 29-year-old Himanshu Sangwan is also a name known for his lethal deliveries, having picked up 77 wickets in total. All these names could make Virat Kohli’s innings difficult.
