Virat Kohli played Ranji Trophy 12 years ago

This time too, the Delhi District Cricket Association has given top positions to Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant in the probable Ranji Trophy team. Despite being selected in the team, both the players are unlikely to play the match as the New Zealand team will tour India during the Ranji Trophy. After this, Team India will tour South Africa and Australia, where both Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are likely to play. In such a situation, the inclusion of Kohli and Rishabh Pant in the list of probable players for the Ranji Trophy is surprising the fans.
