India batting great Virat Kohli is currently featuring for Delhi in a Ranji Trophy match against Railways at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The former India captain made his Ranji comeback more than a year after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued 10-point guidelines where they made it mandatory for national players to feature in domestic cricket when they are out of international action.
Kohli who is known for his aggressive captaincy was seen giving pep talk to his team after they bowled out Railways on day 1 of the clash. The clip of India's star discussing with the team goes viral, here is the video.
