With just 15 deliveries during his brief stint at the crease, Virat Kohli only managed one boundaries.Himanshu Sangwan removed Virat Kohli for just six runs on Friday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, ending his eagerly awaited return to the Ranji Trophy. A ball before he was dismissed, Kohli displayed a flash of his genius with a stunning straight drive off Sangwan. But the very next delivery proved to be lethal; it was slanted in on a fullish length just outside off, and when Kohli tried to drive but failed to leave a space between bat and pad, the ball seamed in sharply. The bails flew as the delivery sped through, clipping the off-stump.
In addition to taking the coveted wicket, Sangwan witnessed the stadium quickly fill up, making it a memorable experience.Only 15 deliveries were made during Kohli's brief stint at the crease, and he only managed one boundary. Delhi was at 87/3 after his removal, still 140 runs behind Railways.It was a letdown for the thousands of spectators who had gathered at the stadium anticipating a masterclass from Kohli. There is always hope for atonement, though, as Kohli will have another chance to leave his mark if Delhi is granted a second innings.
