Massive Turnout for a Domestic Match
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi witnessed an electrifying atmosphere as nearly 15,000 cricket fans gathered to watch Virat in Ranji Trophy match. The overwhelming crowd, a rarity for domestic cricket, highlighted the unmatched craze for the Indian batting superstar.
‘RCB, Kohli’ Chants
From the very beginning, the stadium was filled with deafening chants of “RCB, Kohli,” a nod to Kohli’s Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore. The excitement reached another level when a passionate fan managed to breach security and ran onto the field to meet the cricketer. Although security quickly intervened, the incident underscored Kohli’s massive fan following.
Kohli’s Deep Connection with Delhi
As a cricketer who grew up in Delhi and started his journey from the city’s local grounds, Kohli’s return to the Arun Jaitley Stadium is always a special occasion for his fans. In previous IPL seasons, the stadium has often echoed with cheers for Kohli, despite him playing for an opposing team. His ability to draw crowds even for domestic games reflects his incredible influence on Indian cricket.
A Rare Case in Ranji Trophy Cricket
The Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic competition, usually does not witness such large turnouts. However, Kohli’s presence changed the scenario completely, with fans queuing up outside the stadium long before the match began. This massive turnout could encourage more spectators to be interested in domestic cricket, which has often struggled with low attendance.
The Kohli Effect: Cricket’s Everlasting Superstar
Virat Kohli continues to be one of the biggest icons in world cricket. Whether it’s an international match or a domestic fixture, his ability to draw crowds proves his enduring legacy. With the IPL 2024 season approaching, fans are already excited to see him back in action.
