Rohit Sharma's record in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Rohit Sharma rewrites Vijay Hazare history with record-breaking 155 runs.

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur hosted a masterclass on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma returned to the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) by smashing a massive score. He led the Mumbai attack against Sikkim and hammered 155 runs from only 94 balls.

This knock changed his entire statistical standing in India’s top domestic 50-over league. Before this game, Sharma’s tournament numbers looked respectable but stayed low because of his busy international career. This latest scoring spree pushed his domestic stats to a much higher level.

The Jaipur juggernaut: A statistical look

Before this Group C match, Rohit’s record in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai stood at 18 games. He possessed a total of 823 runs. His average stayed near 37.40. It was a figure that failed to show the true dominance he displays on the world stage.

The former Indian captain’s tournament history showed just one century and five half-centuries. It included a top score of 147* against Rajasthan. Wednesday’s innings broke all those old marks. Rohit scored 155 and moved his total runs in the competition up to 978. This one game made up nearly 16% of his entire career tally in the tournament.

Even more impressive, he reached his hundred in only 62 balls. The Hitman set a new personal best for his fastest List A ton. He even beat his own 63-ball record from the 2023 World Cup match against Afghanistan.

Rohit smacked 18 fours and nine sixes against Sikkim. These shots showed everyone how fast he can score. Rohit now holds 37 centuries in his List A career.

The “Hitman” in local colours

He has scored over 14,000 runs in his entire List A career so far. This innings highlights the significant difference in skill between the world stars and the local players. Rohit Vijay Hazare’s average shot up and moved past 40.00.

The way he looked at the crease told a strong story. Bowlers who usually do well in domestic cricket found no answers against him.

Rohit Sharma: Vijay Hazare Trophy Statistics

Sharma now holds 978 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He sits very close to the 1,000-run mark in this competition. Rohit might reach that goal in Mumbai’s next game against Uttarakhand on December 26.

Fans and stats experts will keep a close eye on him. Every time he bats right now, he gains a chance to rewrite a domestic record that remained static for a long time.
