I won’t let him go home.
I’ll make him sit in the dressing room and tell the boys about his journey, the hard work, the ethics and the honour of playing for the country,” Dahiya told reporters at the Air Force Complex Ground in Palam. “If he wants to play, I would love to have him in this dressing room. I would love to have him there just to talk to the boys. The Ranji Trophy match between Delhi and Services ended in a draw, with Delhi walking away with three points after taking the first-innings lead.
Kohli, who turned 38 on Thursday and now plays only one format, is set to feature in India’s three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka on December 13, 16 and 19.
NEW DELHI: Delhi coach Vijay Dahiya said he would love to have Virat Kohli in the dressing room if the senior India batter wants to play the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which is scheduled to begin on December 14. He will miss Delhi’s first three Vijay Hazare Trophy matches against Goa, Punjab and Rajasthan but could join the team for its December 21 clash against Chandigarh. Dahiya, who has witnessed Kohli’s growth since his junior days, also narrated an interaction with Delhi opener Priyansh Arya after the latter was dismissed on Day 4 of the Ranji Trophy fixture against Services.
We worked it out and discussed how he would have approached the chase,” Dahiya said. “That’s the reason why I said I would love to have him there. “He asked me, ‘If Virat was there, how would he have chased this total? He was there last season as well. I would love to have him there just to talk to the boys.
