Vijay Hazare Trophy Live Score: Suryavanshi hits 36-ball hundred; Virat and Rohit back in domestic action
Vijay Hazare Trophy Live Score: Star power returns to the national stage
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Vijay Hazare Trophy matches.
The charismatic presence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma gave the Vijay Hazare One-Day Trophy an aura rarely associated with India’s domestic 50-over competition.
From Wednesday onwards, the tournament suddenly seems heavier, louder and more consequential, with several of India’s biggest names sinking into a routine generally defined by anonymity rather than applause.
Alongside Kohli and Rohit, the lineup includes Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma, forming a velvety tapestry of elite talent.
Yet despite this depth, the spotlight inevitably focuses on the Ro-Ko axis. Their return is not accidental; it is directly linked to the BCCI’s decision to mandate at least two Vijay Hazare matches for centrally contracted players.
But more than respect, it’s symbolism. Kohli, who is in the tournament after 15 years, and Rohit, still one of the game’s biggest draws, are reminders that reputation alone no longer guarantees insulation from Indian cricket’s changing power equations.
