In the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26, Virat Kohli once again showcased his class and form with a brilliant performance. On Friday, December 26, in a match against Gujarat at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground Number One in Bengaluru, Kohli played a blistering innings of 77 runs off just 61 balls. However, he narrowly missed out on scoring his second consecutive century. Earlier in the tournament, Kohli had scored a magnificent century against Andhra Pradesh in his first match, making his return to domestic cricket highly impressive.
Came to the crease in the second over, adopted an aggressive approach.
Delhi's innings got off to a poor start, with opener Priyansh Arya getting out in the second over to Gaja's bowling. Virat Kohli then came to the crease early and immediately adopted an aggressive approach. He played attractive shots all around the ground and hit a flurry of boundaries right from the start. Kohli completed 30 runs in just 16 balls, and his strike rate soared above 190. The Gujarat bowlers had no answer to his timing and shot selection.
Fifty in 29 balls, then changed his role.
Virat Kohli completed his half-century in just 29 balls. However, Arpit Rana struggled at the other end. Delhi then suffered a series of setbacks, with Arpit Rana (10) and Nitish Rana (12 runs off 22 balls) returning to the pavilion cheaply. Due to the continuous fall of wickets, Kohli had to curb his natural aggressive batting and take on the responsibility of anchoring the innings. His presence at the crease became crucial for Delhi to reach a respectable total.
Innings ended at 77 runs, spectators mesmerized.
Virat Kohli was finally dismissed for 77 runs off 61 balls, caught off the bowling of CT Gaja. During his innings, he hit 13 fours and one six. Although he missed out on a century, his innings were thoroughly entertaining. However, this match is not being broadcast. Being played behind closed doors, spectators are not allowed inside the ground.
A disappointing day for Rohit Sharma in Jaipur
While Virat Kohli continued his excellent form, Rohit Sharma's second match in the Vijay Hazare Trophy was not a memorable one. After a blistering knock of 155 runs off 94 balls against Sikkim, Rohit was dismissed for a golden duck in Mumbai's next match against Uttarakhand. Rohit attempted a pull shot off the first ball of the innings from Devendra Singh Bohra, but the ball went straight into the hands of Jagmohan Nagarkoti at fine leg.
