Kohli, Rohit Sit Out Vijay Hazare Round 3 After Two-Game Returns as Senior Fee Remains Rs 60,000

Reports point to Kohli’s return on January 6 before India duty.

Overview

  • Both stars were left out of Delhi and Mumbai’s December 29 line-ups after committing to only the opening two fixtures.
  • Kohli struck 131 and 77 in Delhi’s first two wins, while Rohit smashed 155 in his opener for Mumbai before a golden duck in the second game.
  • Under the tiered structure, senior-category players earn Rs 60,000 per match (Rs 30,000 as reserves), far below the Rs 6 lakh per ODI; daily allowances and Rs 10,000 Player-of-the-Match prizes can add to earnings.
  • Times Now and Times of India, citing Cricbuzz, report Kohli is set to play Delhi vs Railways on January 6, with Rohit unlikely to feature again this season.
  • Broadcast constraints mean no live stream for the Delhi and Mumbai games on December 29, with only select matches from Ahmedabad and Rajkot carried on JioHotstar and Star Sports.
