Virat Kohli Praises Vishal Jayswal, Signs Match Ball After Vijay Hazare Stumping

Kohli's gesture followed a breakout spell by the Gujarat spinner that has swiftly raised his profile.

Overview

  • Vishal Jayswal returned figures of 4 for 42 for Gujarat, removing Nitish Rana, Rishabh Pant and Arpit Rana in Delhi's innings.
  • He dismissed Virat Kohli for 77 via a stumping in the 22nd over, conceding only five runs off the 12 balls he bowled to the batter.
  • Delhi posted 254 and defended it by seven runs as Gujarat slipped late, turning a position of 213 for 6 into a narrow defeat.
  • After the match, Kohli autographed the ball for Jayswal and told him to keep working hard because his opportunity would come.
  • The encounter came in a domestic round mandated for centrally contracted players, giving emerging cricketers high-level exposure that amplified Jayswal's visibility.
