56 fours, 531 runs… 'Virat' record in Delhi
Virat Kohli has to play his comeback Ranji match on his home ground. In such a situation, it is important to know how Virat's record is in red-ball cricket i.e. Tests. Virat has played 4 Tests at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium so far, in which he has scored 531 runs in 8 innings with an average of 66.37. During this, 56 fours came off Virat's bat but the big thing is that he did not hit a single six.
A long queue of fans outside the stadium
Now Virat is Virat. He may not hit a six but he rules the hearts of his fans. And, the result of that fan following is that a huge crowd of fans was seen outside the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The main reason for the crowd of fans is not only Virat's performance but there is also free entry for the spectators in the stadium.
When Virat Kohli played his last Ranji match against UP in 2012, he could not do anything special in it. But, he would like to make his comeback match memorable. The good thing is that his record in Delhi is also good.
