Virat Kohli was clean bowled for a 15-ball six by a length delivery by Himanshu Sangwan on Day 2 of Delhi vs Railways encounter in Ranji Trophy T2024-25.

Team India's batting star Virat Kohli displayed a brilliant gesture towards Himanshu Sangwan despite the latter spoiling the veteran batter's return to the Ranji Trophy. In a video surfaced on social media, the Delhi-born cricketer was seen giving his autograph on a ball to Sangwan, who was inevitably awed by the gesture.

“Himanshu Sangwan delivered a phenomenal ball,” R Ashwin said on his hindi YouTube channel “Ash ki baat.” “He is not an ordinary Ranji Trophy bowler. He is a tested performer. “He is a gold-dust performer. He bowled an exceptional delivery. There was a gap between pad and bat, it was a class delivery. The ball deserved a wicket,” he said.

Himanshu Sangwan clean bowled Virat Kohli for just 6 runs, cutting short his stay on the crease upon Ranji Trophy return.

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin is in awe of Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan who dismissed Virat Kohli on his Ranji Trophy comeback after more than 12 years. Ashwin feels that the delivery to dismiss Kohli was an exception one.

Sangwan's outstanding performance, which garnered attention on social media, overshadowed Kohli's eagerly awaited comeback to domestic cricket after a 12-year hiatus.

Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy after a long gap of 12 years was far from ideal, as the star batter was clean-bowled for just 6 runs by Himanshu Sangwan.

R Ashwin praised Himanshu Sangwan for dismissing Kohli in Ranji Trophy, and even placed him on a different category than regular bowlers.

Virat Kohli fans mistakenly target the wrong Himanshu Sangwan on social media after the pacer dismisses Kohli on his Ranji Trophy comeback after 12 years. Find out how the mix-up unfolded.
