Ranji Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli entered the field to play Ranji Trophy after 13 years

Why did Virat Kohli agree to play Ranji Trophy match after 13 years
India's star batsman Virat Kohli is ready to play his first match in Ranji Trophy after 2012. He has made himself available for Delhi's match against Railways starting on January 30. Kohli will not be able to play in Delhi's upcoming match against Saurashtra starting on January 23 due to neck strain.

After losing Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, many strict rules were implemented for cricketers
Due to which Virat Kohli agreed to play Ranji Trophy. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has implemented many strict rules for cricketers after losing Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. One of these is the compulsion to play domestic cricket. If a contracted player is not playing any match for Team India and he is fit, then in this situation he will have to play domestic cricket. Rules have also come like limiting the presence of cricketers' wives in foreign tours and preventing coaches-players' managers from traveling in the team bus.
If the BCCI decides this, then on a tour of 45 days or more, players will be able to keep their wives and other family members with them only for two weeks. If the tour is less than 45 days, then this period can be one week. Rohit had confirmed his participation in the next round of Ranji Trophy on Saturday in the press conference held at the time of announcement of the Champions Trophy to be held next month.
When he was asked whether he would play in the next domestic match of his state team, he replied, 'I will play.' After poor performance against New Zealand at home and in the series against Australia, questions have been raised for some time about Rohit's form in the longer format of the game. The Indian captain arrived for practice at the training session in Mumbai on January 15, which made it clear that he would play. After Rohit's consent, Virat Kohli was also forced to say yes.
Kohli scored a century in the second innings in the opening Perth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Virat Kohli is going through a bad form. Kohli scored a century in the second innings in the opening Perth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but after that he could score only 85 runs in the next seven innings. India lost the series 1-3 in Australia due to the poor performance of senior players like Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma. Virat was constantly out while playing the ball outside the off stump. Any bowler would come and trap him in the slip cordon. If Kohli, who is going through a bad form, has to score runs in the Ranji Trophy, then it will be very good for his confidence.
