Delhi enter their Group D clash against Railways with a strong touch in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, sitting on 16 points from five matches after four wins and one loss, and a positive net run rate that keeps them firmly in the top two spots in the group. A win here would virtually lock in a quarter-final berth, making this one of the most important fixtures of their league stage.
However, Delhi will be without one of the biggest names in Indian cricket. Virat Kohli will not be playing in this match, a decision confirmed due to his broader international commitments. It was earlier reported that Kohli will be playing against Railways but Delhi coach has confirmed that star batter will miss the match.
Railways, meanwhile, are riding a decent run themselves. With 12 points from five matches, the same as a few other Group D challengers, they sit within striking distance of the top two and know that a win here could dramatically enhance their quarter-final prospects.
