Earlier Kohli had opted out of Delhi's previous match due to neck injury. His participation in this round comes after the BCCI issued guidelines to contracted players following India's 3-1 defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, one of which was to play domestic cricket.
The final round of Ranji Trophy group games are scheduled to end four days before India's first ODI against England in Nagpur on February 6 where Kohli is also part of the ODI squad for the three-match bilateral series in the lead up to the Champions Trophy from February 19.

On the other hand, KL Rahul has been named in Karnataka's squad for their must-win Ranji Trophy fixture against table-toppers Haryana in Bengaluru later this week.
This marks Rahul's first first-class appearance for Karnataka in nearly five years, since the the 2019-20 semi-final against Bengal at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
