Vijay Hazare Round 2: Kohli Hits 77, Rohit Out First Ball as Gujarat’s Jayswal Grabs Spotlight

The tournament doubles as mandated match practice for contracted players under a new BCCI directive.

Overview

  • Virat Kohli struck 77 off 61 for Delhi against Gujarat in Bengaluru, with Rishabh Pant adding 70, as Delhi edged a seven‑run win.
  • Left‑arm spinner Vishal Jayswal removed both Kohli and Pant and finished with career‑best 4/42, a breakout display for Gujarat.
  • Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a golden duck for Mumbai versus Uttarakhand in Jaipur, two days after a 155; Mumbai still won by 51 runs after posting 331/7.
  • The BCCI has required centrally contracted players to appear in at least two Vijay Hazare rounds, and both Kohli and Rohit have completed those outings.
  • Bihar’s 14‑year‑old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who hit 190 against Arunachal, has left to attend a Prime Minister’s children’s award and then join the India U19 camp, with his coach indicating he will miss the rest of the tournament.
