Kohli Continues Fiery Form in Vijay Hazare Trophy, Misses Century Against Gujarat
Bengaluru, [Date – Assume Today’s Date + 2 Years] – Former Indian captain Virat Kohli showcased his stellar form once again, scoring a blistering 77 for Delhi against Gujarat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 today. The match, held at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (COE) ground in Bengaluru, saw Kohli dominate the Gujarat bowling attack with a flurry of boundaries.
Coming to the crease after the early dismissal of Priyansh Arya, Kohli wasted no time in asserting his dominance. He raced to his half-century with 12 fours and a six, converting 50 of his first 53 runs from boundaries. He ultimately scored 77 off 61 balls, hitting 13 fours and one six.
However, Kohli’s momentum was broken when he was stumped off the bowling of left-arm spinner Vishal Jaiswal, missing out on his 59th List A century. Despite the dismissal, the knock was significant in setting a solid foundation for Delhi.
This performance follows Kohli’s explosive century against Andhra Pradesh in the same tournament, where he scored 131 off 101 balls, including 14 fours and three sixes. His recent form also includes two centuries in the ODI series against South Africa, signaling a return to peak form for the veteran batsman.
