After 12 years, Virat Kohli has returned to Ranji Trophy. In Delhi’s game against railways, Kohli is expected to mark his return. A day before the match, on January 29, the Indian Cricket Board changed their plans to live stream the match.

Earlier the BCCI had no plans of broadcasting or streaming the match. However, since Virat Kohli will be playing at Arun Jaitley Stadium, those plans appeared to have changed. As official from Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) told PTI that they were not aware of BCCI’s intentions to broadcast the match.

We don’t know if BCCI will make any last-minute arrangements since Kohli is playing, but we haven’t been intimated about the broadcast of this game. Normally, all big centres get one live game allotted (TV or streaming). We had a game against Tamil Nadu which was aired live. The roster for broadcast is set months in advance,” a DDCA official had told PTI.

In the next round, the main match that will be televised as well as live-streamed is Karnataka versus Haryana at Chinnaswamy. Two more matches will be streamed. One of those is Bengal vs Punjab at Eden Gardens. There is a streaming of a third match, but as of now, it doesn’t involve Delhi,” a BCCI official had also confirmed with PTI.
