Virat Kohli featured in his second game for Delhi in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 (VHT) on December 26, 2025. Delhi faced off against Gujarat in their second game, which is being played at the CoE ground in Bengaluru.
Gujarat captain Chintan Gaja won the toss and asked Delhi to bat first. Gujarat did well to dismiss openers Priyansh Arya (1) and Arpit Rana (10) early and then also got the wicket of Nitish Rana (12).
But it was Virat Kohli, who was in a punishing mood with the bat, that troubled Gujarat for the first half of the game. He stroked his half-century in just 29 balls and was looking set for yet another century.
He also added 72 runs for the second wicket with Rana, while scoring his 59th List-A century in his 344th match.
Kohli finally fell for 77 runs in 61 balls with 13 fours and one six with a strike rate of 126.22. He was dismissed by Vishal Jayaswal, getting Kohli stumped by keeper Urvil Patel.
The fifty against Gujarat was Kohli's sixth fifty+ score in a row in LIST A cricket. His last six scores in List A cricket read 74* (final ODI against Australia), 135 (1st ODI against South Africa), 102 (2nd ODI against South Africa), 65* (third ODI against South Africa), 131 (VHT match against Andhra), and 77 (VHT match against Gujarat).
Delhi went on to make 254/9 in 50 overs, thanks to captain Rishabh Pant’s brilliant 70 in 79 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes. For Gujarat, Vishal Jayaswal took 4/42, while Ravi Bishnoi took two wickets.
