Ranji Trophy: Balachandra Akhil – From Taking Kohli’s Wicket At Kotla To Returning As Match Referee
The Ranji Trophy Group: The Ranji Trophy Group D match between Delhi and Railways was all about the Virat Kohli mania sweeping the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Kohli’s enduring charisma was evident in his first Ranji Trophy game in 12 years, where over 20,000 fans attended to see their local lad, aka ‘King Kohli’ in action.
Kohli’s impressive stadium reception left a lasting impression on Balachandra Akhil, a former pace-bowling all-rounder for Karnataka and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Even with all the accolades bestowed upon Kohli, Akhil, the match referee for the Delhi-Railways match, observed that the veteran’s personality hasn’t changed a bit.
“If you look at his career, he has been a star and he has always served the country so well that his fan following in this game says it all. The kind of achievements he has, the number of runs he has scored, and the number of matches he has won for the country, I don’t think anybody from this generation can even compete with him in that regard. For the younger generations, he is the biggest role model for them.”
