Team India’s ace batter Virat Kohli is likely to turn out for Delhi in another match of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26. The 37-year-old has already represented his side in the first two games of the 50-over domestic competition. As per a report from Cricbuzz, a senior official of the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) confirmed that Kohli will be available for Delhi’s league encounter against Railways at the KSCA Ground in Alur on January 6.
Following that fixture, the experienced campaigner will link up with the Indian squad in Baroda for the upcoming three-match home ODI series against New Zealand. The ODI series will get underway at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara on January 11. The remaining two matches are scheduled to be held at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on January 14 and the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on January 18.
While Virat Kohli could feature in another game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26, the report indicated that Rohit Sharma is unlikely to play any further matches in the tournament. Representing Mumbai, Rohit smashed a blistering 155 off 94 deliveries in their opening fixture against Sikkim at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
However, he endured a contrasting outing at the same venue in the next match, getting out for a golden duck against Uttarakhand.
Virat Kohli Maintains Stellar Form In Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26
Virat Kohli entered the 2025–26 Vijay Hazare Trophy on the back of a Player of the Series showing in the three-match home ODI series against South Africa. The batting maestro piled up 302 runs in the series, registering scores of 135 off 120 balls, 102 from 93 deliveries, and an unbeaten 65 off 45 balls.
The former India skipper made his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy after almost 15 years and continued his rich vein of form. He marked his comeback with a superb century in Delhi’s opening match against Andhra at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru, scoring 131 off 101 balls, laced with 14 fours and three sixes.
Kohli then produced another commanding performance in the next fixture, smashing a brisk 77 off 61 deliveries against Gujarat at the same venue.
