Virat Kohli Follows Rohit Sharma, Smashes 58th List A Century on Vijay Hazare Trophy Return

Virat Kohli marked a sensational return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy after 15 long years, smashing his 58th List A century while representing Delhi against Andhra in Bengaluru. Kohli’s knock came just a day after Rohit Sharma’s blistering 155 for Mumbai, making it a memorable round for Indian cricket legends. Kohli Shines in 299-Run Chase for Delhi Chasing a competitive target of 299, Virat Kohli played with trademark control and aggression. The former India captain reached his century in under 85 balls, guiding Delhi with composure and authority. This hundred was: Kohli’s third century in his last four List A innings His 58th List A ton, moving closer to Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 60 A milestone innings that took him past 16,000 List A runs With his very first run of the match, Kohli became only the ninth player in cricket history to reach the 16,000-run mark in List A cricket. Historic Comeback After 15 Years Interestingly, Kohli last played the Vijay Hazare Trophy back in February 2010, when he captained Delhi against Services. In that match, he batted at No. 5 and scored just 16 runs. Since then, Kohli has played only 18 Vijay Hazare matches for Delhi, making this comeback even more special. Key Records Achieved in the Match ✅ 58th List A Century ✅ 16,000+ List A Runs ✅ 1,000 Runs for Delhi in 50-over cricket ✅ Third List A century since the South Africa series Most List A Centuries (All-Time) Player Centuries Sachin Tendulkar 60 Virat Kohli 58 Graham Gooch 44 Graeme Hick 40 Kumar Sangakkara 39 Rohit Sharma 36 Kohli now stands just two centuries away from equaling Tendulkar’s legendary record.
