Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE: Rohit Sharma can't catch a break from the fans in Jaipur.
Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE: Rohit Sharma can't catch a break from the fans in Jaipur.

Vijay Hazare Trophy: Virat Kohli won his second consecutive Player of the Match award as Delhi outplayed Gujarat to pick up a narrow 7-run win. Rohit Sharma's Mumbai too made it two wins from two matches, defeating Uttarakhand by 51 runs. With that, the Indian batting takes a break, but will return in a couple of weeks with the New Zealand ODIs beginning January 11. They could be playing another match, although no official confirmation has been made yet.

Rohit Sharma's Mumbai is just two wickets away from beating Uttarakhand and make it two wins from two wins matches. However, Virat Kohli and Delhi's party could be spoiled by Gujarat, who are on their way to close this game out in the final 10 overs. Kohli enjoyed another strong innings to close out 2025, with 77 runs for Delhi against Gujarat. Rishabh Pant helped out with 70, but Delhi never had enough on the board, and are staring down the barrel against Gujarat. Mumbai wrestle control of their own match, taking wickets at the right time with plenty of runs to work with after scoring 331.

Virat Kohli continues his sensational run of form in the 50-over format with a sixth consecutive 50+ score in List A cricket, this time showing a strong boundary-hitting ability to help Delhi motor through the powerplay. Not Rohit Sharma's day, though, as his aggressive mindset falls apart early with a golden duck for Mumbai.

It's only been two days since bowlers across the country were walloped all over in the opening round of the 2025/26 Vijay Hazare Trophy – a day which saw 22 centurions, three of the four fastest centuries by Indian batters in List A cricket, a double century, and a team scoring 574 in one innings.

In that environment, the story was still all about Rohit and Kohli. Still two of the best batters going around in the world in the 50-over format, the two Indian greats were both amongst the centurions, and were just short of flawless: Rohit scored 155 in Mumbai's walk-in-the-park chase vs Sikkim in Jaipur, while Virat Kohli returned after 15 years to work his way to 131 vs Andhra in a tricky chase in Bengaluru's CoE ground.

Small grounds, flat pitches, manageable chases, a gulf in quality, and sublime form even heading into their pair of matches in the VHT – Rohit and Virat made the best of a very good situation. But they were only playing two matches in this tournament as preparation for New Zealand, with Delhi facing Gujarat and Mumbai playing Uttarakhand.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: How concerning are the amount of runs we've seen so far?

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: On the first day of this tournament, it was a total mismatch between bat and ball in most of the games played across the country. Three players scored centuries inside 35 balls, remember. But how big a threat is this for Indian cricket domestically? Not one to be underestimated.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Once again, Sawai Mansingh packs out for Rohit Sharma

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: The two stands opened to the public were chock-full of people who arrived to watch Rohit Sharma bat and received a masterclass, and today morning, it's more of the same as early morning crowds roll into Jaipur's cricket stadium to catch a glimpse. Fans across the country value these superstars to such an extent that this is hardly a surprise.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Tough Gujarat test for Kohli, Pant and co.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Next up for Delhi after beating Andhra is Gujarat, who will have key bowlers like Harshal Patel and Ravi Bishnoi for Delhi's middle order batters to contend with. Rishabh Pant fell cheaply trying to wrap things up in the first match, and he is one of the players who will want to try and have a monster season to play himself into the reckoning. Kohli, meanwhile, is in an unbelievable run of scoring, and will back himself to continue that run through the next couple of weeks and into the New Zealand series.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Centuries galore – feat. Ishan Kishan, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Devdutt Padikkal

The first day of the VHT saw 3 of the 4 fastest List A centuries, including one for Ishan Kishan on his return to the Indian squad, one for Vaibhav Suryavanshi as he bulldozed his way to 190 off just 84, and one for Padikkal as he scored 144 to help Karnataka chase down a score well in excess of 400. Through and through, it was a day for the batters across the country.

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Twin centuries in the opening round

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: There were very many centuries in the first round of matches for this season's edition of the VHT – and several notable ones – but the key focus was always Kohli's return to the VHT after 15 years, and Rohit's after 7. They didn't disappoint. Easygoing centuries at a high rate of scoring, commanding their respective chases and taking full control. They are still amongst the top 3 ranked batters in ODI cricket – is it any surprise they were in full flow?
