When did Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma last play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy?

Virat Kohli will play for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and their matches will be played in Bengaluru. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma will play for Mumbai, and their matches will be played in Jaipur.

During the 2009–10 season, when he was also the team captain, Kohli made his final appearance for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

In five games, he amassed 229 runs at a strike rate of 102.23 and an average of 45.8. On February 18, 2010, he hit 16 runs off just eight balls in his final game against Services, as Delhi collected 311 runs in their 50 overs.

Delhi easily won the match by 113 runs after Services were knocked out for just 198 runs in response. They were unable to advance to the following round, though, as Delhi was eliminated from the North Zone points table by Haryana and Punjab.

In October 2018, Rohit Sharma played for Mumbai in the quarterfinal and semifinal of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Before being dismissed for just 17 runs in the semi-final match against Hyderabad, he struck an undefeated 33 against Bihar in the 70-run chase. Rohit missed the final due to national obligations, but Mumbai went on to win the title that season as well.
