New Delhi: Star India cricketer Virat Kohli is set to make his Ranji Trophy comeback against Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday, January 30. The 36-year-old practiced with the Delhi Ranji team on January 28 ahead of the match.
During the training session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a kid named Kabir, who is the son of one of Kohli’s teammates from age-group cricket, interacted with the star India batter and asked him on what he would need to do to become an Indian cricketer.
Virat Kohli then gave invaluable advice to the young kid and said a lot of hard work. He further added that your father should not tell you to practice or train and you should yourself say every morning that you want to go to practice. If someone practices for an hour, you do it for two hours. That is the only way.
“If someone scores a 50, you score a 100, and if someone scores a 100, you score a 200. Jo benchmark hai us se double (Whatever the benchmark is, you should do double of it)” Kohli said.

Virat Kohli’s poor form in red-ball cricket
Virat Kohli has been struggling to score runs over the past few months. Apart from notching up a hundred in the first Test against Australia in Perth, He couldn’t even score 100 runs in total in the remaining four Test matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
After losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by 3-1, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued strict guidelines for the centrally contracted players and asked them to take part in domestic matches if they want to play for the National team. Last week, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal participated in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy match against Jammu and Kashmir.
While Shubman Gill led the Punjab team and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant also took the field for Delhi. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also played a match for his domestic team Saurashtra and picked up 12 wickets.
