Virat Kohli was supposed to walk back into the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Instead, he walked into the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) and reminded everyone why it is a cakewalk for him to play the 50-over format. After nearly seven months of uncertainty following the tragic June 4 stampede, Bengaluru fans had allowed themselves a little hope. Kohli returning for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy felt like the perfect way for cricket to reclaim the ground. Instead, the opening fixture against Andhra Pradesh was quietly relocated to the BCCI’s new Centre of Excellence on the city’s outskirts and played behind closed doors.

Ricky Bhui’s 122 for Andhra was reduced to a footnote. The only thing missing was a roaring crowd. Also, with the BCCI not live streaming the game, it only added bitter taste in ...

That figure applies to all members of the playing XI. Non-playing squad members will receive ₹25,000 per match.
