 "Vijay Hazare Trophy: Virat Kohli blasts 77 as Rohit Sharma suffers golden duck dismissal")
It was a disappointing day for fans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday as Rohit Sharma, who slammed 155 on Wednesday vs Sikkim, got out on a first-ball duck in Mumbai's Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 match against Uttarakhand, while Virat Kohli continued his good form at Bengaluru. Delhi star batter Kohli made a fiery 77 against Gujarat in his second match of the ongoing tournament.
Both batters – Rohit and Kohli – began the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 campaign with blistering knocks on Wednesday. Rohit made a memorable hundred in front of thousands of fans, while Kohli scored 131 against Andhra in a closed-door match.

Thousands turned up at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday as well to catch Rohit’s batting, but the former India captain got out for a duck as he was caught at fine leg, trying to pull the first ball he faced from Uttarakhand’s Devendra Singh Bora.

Kohli had no such issue as he picked up from where he left off the other day, playing a swift knock, laced with multiple boundaries. He was on 77 from 60 balls with 13 fours and on six, when Urvil Patel effected a stumping off Vishal Jayswal to remove the former India captain.
In the same game, Delhi captain Rishabh Pant scored 70 off 79 balls as Delhi posted 254/9 in 50 overs after being asked to bat first.
Mumbai made a mammoth 331/7 vs Uttarakhand despite Rohit falling for a duck. Hardik Tamore made 93 not out in 82 balls, while Musher Khan and his elder brother Sarfaraz Khan made 55 each.
Rohit and Kohli are playing in the List A Vijay Hazare Trophy after many years. Kohli’s last appearance was in 2010, while Rohit last played in the tournament in 2018.
