Vijay Hazare Trophy Round 2 Live Score: Kohli In Action Early, Rohit Sharma Departs For Golden Duck

Early wicket for Delhi as Priyansh Arya departs for 1, bringing Virat Kohli to the crease sooner than expected once again. And Kohli wastes no time, straight into rhythm with a crisp boundary to get going.

Shock early blow for Mumbai as Rohit Sharma departs for a first-ball duck. Going for the trademark pick-up pull, the timing deserts him and he’s caught out in the opening over. A rare off-day for the Hitman, and a stunned silence among the fans.

Sigh of relief for Mizoram. Vaibhav Suryavanshi misses Bihar’s clash against Mizoram, with his focus shifting to India’s U-19 World Cup preparations. With the tournament just weeks away in Zimbabwe and Namibia, national camp duties take priority.

Toss updates bring early intrigue as Uttarakhand and Gujarat both win the flip and send Mumbai and Delhi in first. That means first-innings tests for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma today, with runs on the board crucial and senior heads needed to steady things early.

The stands were packed to the rafters as fans turned up to watch Rohit Sharma bat and were treated to a masterclass. This morning, it’s deja vu in Jaipur, with early crowds streaming in once again, proof that when superstars step out, the country always shows up.

It was a batter’s paradise as three of the four fastest List A hundreds came on the opening day. Ishan Kishan marked his return with a blistering ton, Vaibhav Suryavanshi went berserk with 190 off just 84 balls, and Devdutt Padikkal smashed 144 to power Karnataka past a 400-plus chase. A day dominated, start to finish, by the batters.
