How did Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma perform in the second round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26? (PC:X)

The second round of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 got underway on December 26. Yet again, the focus was on Indian internationals in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as the Mumbai and Delhi teams were in action today against Uttarakhand and Gujarat respectively.

Coming to the Mumbai vs Uttarakhand game, the Shardul Thakur-led side was asked to bat first and out walked Rohit Sharma along with Angkrish Raghuvanshi. But the start wasn’t the way they would have wanted as the senior batter failed.

Rohit Sharma, on the very first ball which he faced, attempted to play the pull shot against Devendra Singh Bora. He didn’t get the proper connection and ended up getting caught by Jagmohan Nagarkoti near the boundary, bagging a golden duck.

The law of averages caught up for Rohit Sharma as he followed his century with a golden duck. The premier batter played an innings of 155 runs in the last game against Sikkim in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26.

On the other hand, Virat Kohli continued his fine form with the bat. He played a brilliant innings of 131 runs in the last against Andhra Pradesh and then made sure that he came up with another good performance in the match against Gujarat.

Virat Kohli slammed his sixth consecutive 50+ score in List A cricket and batted with an aggressive intent. He ended up playing an innings of 77 runs off 61 balls, helping his team post a fighting total on the board.

He also now has the highest List-A batting average of 57.87 and has overtaken former Australian batter Mitchel Bevan (57.86).
