Though Jasprit Bumrah picked 4 wickets for 50 runs in the opening innings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma scored 11 runs in the first Test and Virat Kohli couldn't impress with his batting.

Virat Kohli, the star India batter, could return to play Ranji Trophy for Delhi in the 2024-25 season. If it happens, this will be the first time in 12 years that Kohli will ply his trade for India's premier first-class cricket competition.
