In a rare moment of visible frustration, Kohli, with a sharp tone, was heard telling the crowd, "Bhai, Mera Raasta Mat Roko mera" (Brothers, don’t block my way).  ALSO READ: PCB hopeful of Rohit attending opening ceremony of Champions Trophy

In a parallel turn of events, speculation has mounted over whether Kohli will make a return to domestic cricket, specifically the Ranji Trophy, to regain his red-ball form ahead of India’s next Test series in June. The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) has included Kohli in the list of probables, but uncertainty remains over his participation. With no immediate Test matches on the horizon, some experts question the wisdom of Kohli’s return to the format. As the debate rages on, the cricket world waits to see if the icon will once again grace the domestic stage, or if his focus will remain on international duties.
