On Thursday, January 31, Virat Kohli finally made his return to domestic cricket circuit, ending his 12-year drought. The former India captain and batting stalwart returned to his domestic team, Delhi for the ongoing final round of the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. However, his return wasn’t the one which was expected as he produced another disappointing show.

The 36-year-old hit his first boundary of the innings against Railways on Day 2 of the group match, and on the very next delivery, he failed to read an inswinging delivery from Himanshu Sangwan as the ball ended up sending the off-stump cartwheeling. Seeing the veteran Indian depart after scoring just six off 15 deliveries, the fans quickly took to social media to troll him.

While some hit back at Kohli for his continuous poor show in red-ball cricket, a few other also mocked at him, flooding social media with memes.

Check out how netizens reacted on Kohli’s forgettable outing on Ranji trophy return:

Notably, ahead of the day two of Delhi’s Ranji Trophy fixture against Railways, the anticipation in the stadium was palpable with fans eagerly waiting for Kohli to come out to bat. After the ruckus on the opening day, the stadium authorities upscaled their security provisions, along with adding some additional gates to accommodate fans. However, soon after Kohli’s dismissal, the stadium was numb in silence and was emptied within seconds as majority of the spectators came out to watch Kohli bat.
