KL Rahul and Virat Kohli
During the Australia tour, Team India had to face a crushing defeat of 1-3 in the 5-match Test series, after which the star batsmen of Team India were heavily criticized. A major reason behind Team India’s batting failure was said to be not playing domestic cricket for a long time. After this, BCCI also issued some guidelines for the team players in which domestic cricket was made mandatory. After this, news came that star batsmen like Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will be seen playing in the next round of Ranji Trophy. This was confirmed when the names of many star batsmen of the Indian cricket team were included in the team selected for the Ranji Trophy. But now news is coming that Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will not play Ranji Trophy. The reason behind this has also come to light.
In fact, recently Delhi had announced its team for the next round of Ranji Trophy in which the names of Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were also included. After this it became clear that both the players will be seen making their mark in Ranji Trophy after many years but now the news is coming that Virat Kohli will not play in Ranji Trophy. Apart from Kohli, KL Rahul will also not be a part of the domestic tournament.
