New Delhi: Former India captain Virat Kohli made a sensational return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 after 15 years, showcasing his class in Delhi’s opening match against Andhra Pradesh. Kohli last played in the tournament in 2010, but he immediately reminded everyone why he is one of cricket’s modern greats.

Explosive Batting Display

Coming in at number three, Kohli faced just 40 balls to reach a quick fifty, finishing unbeaten on 59 runs from 53 deliveries with 7 fours and a six. His explosive innings not only set the tone for Delhi but also helped him surpass 16,000 runs in List-A cricket, further cementing his legendary status.

Form Hot After South Africa Series

Kohli has carried his incredible form from India’s recent three-match ODI series against South Africa, where he scored 302 runs, including two centuries and a fifty, earning the Player of the Series award. Now, his bat continues to blaze a trail, much to the delight of fans eagerly following his comeback in domestic cricket.

Focused on ODI Cricket

At 38, Kohli remains active exclusively in the ODI format for India, having retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket. His next appearance in the national colors is set for January when India faces New Zealand in a three-match ODI series starting 11 January 2026.

Virat Kohli’s return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy proves that even after a decade and a half, the King of Indian cricket can still dominate, leaving bowlers struggling and fans cheering for more.
