Cricket fans across the country are abuzz with speculation that Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli might soon feature in the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL). The viral news has sparked excitement on social media, especially among Delhi’s local cricketing circles.
Kohli, who recently stepped away from Test and T20I formats, is currently focused on ODIs and the IPL, where he played a pivotal role in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) recent IPL title win. Now, fans might get a rare opportunity to see him play in his home city once again.
DDCA President Rohan Jaitley addressed the growing speculation, stating that Kohli has always supported Delhi cricket and has been a strong mentor to emerging talents. He welcomed the idea, calling it a potential morale booster for young players.
Kohli, who began his cricketing journey with Delhi’s Ranji team, last played a first-class match for the state in February 2025. His deep connection with Delhi cricket makes the possibility of his DPL appearance even more special.
While there’s no official confirmation yet from Kohli or the DDCA, the prospect of his participation has already sent a wave of anticipation through fans and budding cricketers alike.
