What does it matter if Virat Kohli was dismissed for a low score? What significance does it hold that his return to the Ranji Trophy after 12 years concluded in disappointment? What difference does it make that he was unable to accumulate some essential runs? And what if he managed to last only 15 balls, scoring just 6 runs at his home ground, the Arun Jaitley Stadium? Fans are still eagerly anticipating the commencement of Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Railways. The mere presence of Kohli in the vicinity, sharing the same atmosphere, is sufficient to attract more spectators to the stadium. Despite 10,000 to 12,000 fans leaving disheartened on Friday, Kohli's supporters are prepared to make the effort, as long as their 'King' is in town.
One devoted fan, whose name remains unknown, traveled from Manesar to witness his cherished Kohli in action. True to his fanhood, his emotions, sentiments, and admiration for Kohli remained unwavering, regardless of the score. In fact, he has pledged to return the following day—anticipate an increase in attendance—since Kohli is expected to take the field on Saturday, with Delhi concluding Day 2 at 334/7, leading Railways (241 all-out) by 93 runs.
'After my mom and dad, it's you, sir'
I arrived to see Virat Kohli, but King Kohli has returned to the dugout after being dismissed. Nevertheless, I wish to express that 'Kohli… brother! Your presence has always been, and will forever be, remarkable. You were King Kohli, you still are, and you will always remain so. I was here yesterday as well. I traveled for eight hours on my bike from Manesar, and now I will head back. Yet, I will return tomorrow. As long as Virat Kohli is in Delhi, I will be here. All I want to convey to Virat Kohli is, 'Sir, whether you score runs or get out for a duck, I have witnessed your greatness, and my life feels enriched because of it. After my parents, you are the one I admire the most. I hold immense love for you,' the fan shared with ESPNCricinfo.
"The four runs he scored were beyond mere numbers; they represented my heartbeat, truly. I felt a moment of disappointment after he was bowled, but soon after, everything was fine. No worries, Kohli bhai. I have followed every single century you have made. Regardless of where you play in the world, my day is always brightened by your performance."
Rest assured, regardless of whether Kohli has another opportunity to bat, with two days remaining in the match, fans are expected to flock to the venue in large numbers as long as Kohli is present in and around the stadium.
