New Delhi: Virat Kohli's return to the Ranji Trophy after nearly 13 years has generated massive excitement among fans, with thousands gathering outside Arun Jaitley Stadium, chanting "RCB RCB" in support of the star batter. Kohli is playing for Delhi against Railways as part of his preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has allowed free entry for spectators, requiring only an Aadhaar card and a photocopy. Fans have been allocated the Gautam Gambhir Stand, accessible through Gate Nos. 16 and 17, while Gate No. 6 is reserved for DDCA members and guests.

DDCA secretary Ashok Kumar Sharma stated that around 10,000 fans are expected on the first day, with arrangements matching those of an international or IPL match.

Kohli, who last played in the Ranji Trophy in 2012 under Virender Sehwag's captaincy, is looking to regain form. Since 2020, he has scored 2,028 runs in 39 Test matches at an average of 30.72, with just three centuries. In the 2023–25 ICC World Test Championship cycle, he managed 751 runs in 14 matches at an average of 32.65.
