Thousands of fans have filled a stadium in the Indian capital, Delhi, as Virat Kohli makes his much-anticipated return to domestic cricket after more than 12 years. The 36-year-old star batter has turned out for Delhi on Thursday in the Ranji Trophy match against the Railways team at the well-attended Arun Jaitley stadium.

Virat Kohli's highest score for Delhi came in 2008 Nissar Trophy against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited when the star batter scored 197 in the second innings.

Such was Kohli's aura that a strong crowd of over 10,000 remained at the stadium despite Railways batting first.

Virat Kohli is set to make his comeback to Ranji Trophy after 13 years, having last played in the tournament in November 2012. We take a look at the senior India batter’s record in domestic cricket.
