Virat Kohli has confirmed his participation in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy, returning to domestic 50-over cricket after more than a decade. The tournament is scheduled to begin on December 24. The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) says he is available, though he is likely to play only two matches. Kohli’s return echoes the board’s call for senior players to support their state sides when not on national duty.
Virat Kohli Back in Vijay Hazare Trophy
Kohli last played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the 2009–10 season, where he performed strongly across 14 matches. His comeback brings valuable experience to Delhi, who begin their campaign against Andhra in a competitive Group D. This move also aligns with the board’s push for top players, including Kohli and Rohit Sharma, to feature in domestic cricket.
