Vijay Hazare Trophy Score: Almost a world-record knock by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi to start off the Vijay Hazare Trophy, as he falls agonizingly short! Blazes 190 off only 84 deliveries in a remarkable performance. Over to Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to snatch back the headlines.

Vijay Hazare Trophy Score:

Vaibhav Suryavanshi puts on a special show in Bihar’s Vijay Hazare Trophy, continuing to play with power and quality which belies his extreme youth. He fell short of an incredible double-century world record, but his 190 (84) did include the second-fastest List A century by an Indian batter, and the fastest 150 in List A cricket by a whopping 10 balls. 15 sixes in his knock.

As Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return to domestic action in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the wait extends just a bit more: their respective teams are bowling first, with Delhi under captain Rishabh Pant opting to field first against Andhra, and Sikkim opting to bat first against Mumbai.

Retired from Test cricket and from T20I cricket almost in total lockstep, India’s two greatest cricket heroes of this generation will always be tied to each other. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma form the old guard, as it were, but that doesn’t mean they don’t continue to dominate the 50 over format – historically their strongest suit in international cricket.

Delhi vs Andhra But if they want to remain at the top of their game in ODI cricket, as they have shown in the recent series against Australia and South Africa, the two stars realize they must put in the hard yards with minimal top-level cricket on the cards otherwise. What this means is that they will mark their return to Vijay Hazare Trophy, India’s domestic 50-over tournament, after long spells away. Rohit Sharma last played for Mumbai in this tournament in 2018, but Kohli hasn’t donned the Delhi kit since 2010, at 22 years old and not yet a World Cup winner.

Delhi and Mumbai are two teams who will have intentions of going deep into the tournament, and their seasons will be kickstarted by these two talismanic figures at the helm, with a lot more quality surrounding them to boot. Delhi will take on Andhra at the BCCI’s Center of Excellence ground in Bengaluru, relocated from the Chinnaswamy Stadium which has acted as Kohli’s second home over all these years. Mumbai face Sikkim at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

Both players have shown that this remains their strongest format and that they haven’t yet lost a step in the journey towards the 2027 ODI World Cup. Joining their domestic teammates this week, it becomes about getting as much cricket as they can on the road, but also about small steps as they prepare for next month’s set of ODIs against the visiting New Zealand team.
