Vijay Hazare Trophy Updates: Rohit Sharma out on first ball, Delhi’s strong challenge due to Kohli-Pant’s fifty

Vijay Hazare Trophy Updates: In the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the matches of Mumbai vs Uttarakhand (MUM vs UTK) and Delhi vs Gujarat (DEL vs GUJ) have created tremendous excitement.

That innings of Rohit, playing List-A cricket after seven years, was considered a great comeback.

On the other hand, in the Delhi vs Gujarat match, Delhi team scored 254 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs. For Delhi, Virat Kohli displayed excellent form and scored a half-century of 77 runs in 61 balls and was the team’s top scorer. Captain Rishabh Pant also batted responsibly and scored 70 runs in 79 balls. However, other Delhi batsmen—Priyansh Arya, Nitish Rana and Ayush Badoni—could not make much contribution.

Chasing the target, till the time of writing the news, Gujarat team has scored 129 runs for 4 wickets in 30 overs, while Mumbai’s score against Uttarakhand has already reached a strong position. The performance of big stars in these matches of Vijay Hazare Trophy has further increased the excitement of the tournament.
