Indian team's star cricketer Virat Kohli has come to play in the Ranji Trophy after 13 years. Delhi team has included him in their playing eleven in the group stage match against Railways. But to make a place for him, captain Ayush Badoni had to make some changes in the team. Actually, Jonty Sidhu had to be dropped from the team for Kohli. Sidhu was a part of Delhi's team in the match against Saurashtra in the sixth round of the group stage, but he is not playing in this match. Let us tell you that he has played 26 first-class matches so far, in which he has scored 1435 runs at an average of 43.48.

Sidhu flopped in 3 matches

4 changes were made in Delhi's team for the match against Railways at Arun Jaitley Stadium. 2 bowlers and 2 batsmen who played in the last match have been dropped from the team. In bowling, Siddhant and Mani Grewal have been given a chance in place of Harsh Tyagi and Mayank Gosai. Pranav is playing as wicketkeeper-batsman after Rishabh Pant is dropped.

Apart from this, Jonty Sidhu has had to sit on the bench for Virat Kohli. His performance has not been very good in the last 3 matches. He scored 16 and 4 runs in the last match against Saurashtra. Before this, he could score 13 runs against Assam and just 4 and 23 runs against Tamil Nadu. However, Sidhu scored back to back centuries against Chhattisgarh and Odisha. Since then, his bat seems to be silent.
