Vijay Hazare Trophy Highlights: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma smash memorable centuries on return to List A tournament

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma didn’t just score hundreds. They also sent a clear message that they are targetting 2027 ODI World Cup.

Virat Kohli got to his century with a pull shot to the cow corner. The video of him getting to the three-figure mark is going viral.

Virat Kohli has 3 hundreds and 2 fifties in the last List A innings, including ODIs for India. The century against Andhra is Kohli’s 58th List A hundred.

Century for Kohli in Bengaluru! He loves the city and he loves the 50-over format. The former India captain completes a hundred for Delhi on his comeback in the Vijay Hazare Trophy vs Andhra. He is currently on 112 from 90 balls with a strike rate of 124. His partnership with Nitish Rana is now worth more than 100 runs.

Delhi are 229/2 (28.4 Overs). They need 299 to win.

Ishan Kishan, who recently hit a match-winning century in the Syed Modi Mushtaq Ali trophy final, scored a 33-ball hundred today for Jharkhand vs Karnataka in Ahmedabad. It is the second-fastest List A century by an Indian.
