After a long time star batter Virat Kohli was playing in Ranji Trophy. However, Railways’ pacer Himanshu Sangwan hogged the limelight after dismissing Delhi batter Kohli.

Later Sangwan revealed that it was the advice of the team bus driver that he followed successfully to dismiss Kohli much to the astonishment of several fans and experts.

“Before the match, there were discussions about Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant playing for Delhi. We didn’t even know the match would be aired live. Slowly, we learned that Pant wouldn’t play, but Virat would, and suddenly, the spotlight was on us,” said Sangwan during a recent interaction.

“The bus driver told me, ‘Bowl at the fourth-fifth stump line to Virat Kohli, and he’ll get out.’ I trusted my strengths rather than focusing on his weaknesses, and it worked,” he added.
