Ranji Trophy: When Such A Big Cricketer Comes In Between, You Get Excited, Says Upendra On Kohli
Railways Ranji Trophy: On a day when Virat Kohli’s grand return to domestic cricket was the main talking point on Day One of the Ranji Trophy match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Railways wicketkeeper-batter Upendra Yadav made a big impact through a solid 95, laced with ten fours and a six to take Railways from 66/5 to a respectable 241.
He admitted that when a cricketer of Kohli’s stature arrives for a domestic game, players are bound to get excited, especially with the euphoric atmosphere provided by more than 15,000 people in attendance for the first-class match.
“Generally, when we play Ranji Trophy, there is not a lot of crowd. Obviously, because of Virat bhaiya, there is a lot of crowd. It feels good when a big player comes to play domestic cricket. Yes, it was overwhelming. When I was in the IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad, although I could not come to the playing XI, the cheering of the crowd gave me a different feeling. So, today I felt something like that.”
