Rishabh Pant set to play Ranji Trophy for Delhi, no confirmation over Virat Kohli

Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant is all set to play for Delhi in their next Ranji Trophy 2024-5 fixture against Saurashtra from 23rd January in Rajkot. Pant was named amongst 41 probable players for Delhi for their next rounds of the Ranji Trophy, along with star India batter Virat Kohli and fast bowler Harshit Rana.

The southpaw scored 315 runs from 7 matches in his last season and hasn’t featured in the tournament since making his India Test debut in 2018. However, both Kohli and Pant were part of the Delhi's Ranji Trophy probable list last year as well.

The wicketkeeper-batter didn’t have a good outing in the recent five-match Test series against Australia as he accumulated 255 runs from five matches (9 innings) at an average of 28.33 with one half century, which came in the final Test in Sydney.
