Former India captains Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli marked their return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy with impressive centuries in the first round on Wednesday (Dec 24). The two veterans, who have stepped away from T20 Internationals and Test cricket, played major roles in helping their teams to win. Kohli’s hundred helped Delhi to defeat Andhra by four wickets, while Rohit’s century guided Mumbai to an eight-wicket win over Sikkim.
When Kohli, Rohit are set to play next?
Both Kohli and Rohit will next be in action in the second round of the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Delhi will face Gujarat at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, while Rohit’s Mumbai will take on Uttarakhand at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Both the matches will begin at 9 am on Friday (Dec 26).
Kohli breaks another record
During his match-winning knock of 131 for Delhi, Kohli crossed 16,000 runs in List A cricket, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar to become the quickest to reach the milestone. Tendulkar achieved the feat in 391 innings, while Kohli did so in just 330 innings, taking 61 fewer innings.
