Bishan Singh Bedi: As day three of the Ranji Trophy Group D match between Delhi and Railways resumed at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, the sight of black covers installed on the edge of Bishan Singh Bedi stand adjacent to the dressing room situated in the Virat Kohli Pavilion stood out.

Asked about the same, DDCA sources told IANS that the black covers were installed early on Saturday morning after both Delhi and Railways teams were being disturbed by noise made by fans who were crowding near the edge of the dressing room situated in the Bishan Singh Bedi stand for the last two days.

That chanting grew louder when fans surrounded the edge during day two’s play on Friday to have a glimpse of the talismanic Virat Kohli, who was seated in the Delhi team dressing room balcony after being dismissed for six, by chanting names of him, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and his nickname ‘Cheeku’.
