    Young Players Felt Motivated Training With Virat Kohli, Says Delhi Coach

    Delhi Ranji Trophy: India star Virat Kohli, who linked up with the Delhi Ranji Trophy squad at Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday, was the source of motivation for his young teammates while training ahead of their match against Railways, said former India off-spinner and head coach Sarandeep Singh.

    Kohli will be playing his first Ranji Trophy match after more than 12 years, his last domestic cricket match was in Ranji Trophy in November 2012. The former India captain joined his Delhi teammates for football drills, shared laughs, and participated in 100-metre sprints before heading to the batting nets.

    Kohli padded up, put on his helmet, and opted for an unusual bat with a noticeably thinner blade than his regular ones—likely an adjustment to address the outside edges that contributed to his eight dismissals in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, only managing 190 runs. For around 15 minutes, he faced throwdowns delivered from the middle of the pitch. He dedicated five minutes to front-foot strokes, while the remaining time focused on handling back-of-length deliveries off the back foot.
