Virat Kohli has played two matches for Delhi in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 season so far against Andhra and Gujarat.

Virat Kohli was back to playing domestic cricket after the ODI series against South Africa, as the selectors wanted him to make use of the time before the ODI series against the New Zealand. Kohli played for Delhi and along with him, Rohit Sharma also played for Mumbai.

Kohli showed great form in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 as he scored a century against Andhra and followed it up with a half-century against Gujarat. The stint in the domestic tournament was watched by a lot of “Roko” fans from the stadiums. While Kohli played at the Centre of Excellence ground in Bengaluru, Rohit, who slammed 155 and 0, played at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur.

Kohli skipped Delhi’s third match against Saurashtra that began in Alur from December 29. He returned back to Mumbai and made himself unavailable for this match.
