After 40 overs of play, Andhra Pradesh are now at 208/4. Ricky Bhui has smashed a century for the AP team.
After 46 overs of play, Sikkim are now at 211/6.
Rohit Sharma will turn out for Mumbai in their tournament opener against Sikkim on December 24 at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium. It will be the Indian captain's first Vijay Hazare Trophy appearance since 2018, underlining how infrequent his domestic outings have been in recent years. Rohit is expected to feature in at least Mumbai's first two group-stage matches, including the December 26 clash against Uttarakhand, giving Jaipur fans a rare chance to watch him from the stands.
His availability is a massive boost for a Mumbai side led by Shardul Thakur and already rich in depth. Rohit's return also aligns with the BCCI's renewed emphasis on centrally contracted players participating in domestic cricket when not on national duty. With spectators allowed in Jaipur and free entry granted to the East Stand, officials are anticipating healthy crowds, while enhanced security measures are in place to manage the excitement surrounding the star batter.
Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, the spotlight will be firmly on Virat Kohli when Delhi face Andhra Pradesh in their Round 1 encounter. Unlike Jaipur, however, this match will be played behind closed doors at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence after authorities denied permission for it to be staged at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Kohli's return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy is particularly significant, as it marks his first domestic List A appearance since 2010 - nearly 15 years ago.
Although fans will miss out on watching Kohli live, his presence alone makes the Delhi vs Andhra fixture one of the most talked-about games of the opening round. The former India captain boasts a formidable List A record, with close to 16,000 runs and an extraordinary consistency in the 50-over format.
With both Kohli and Rohit having stepped away from T20 internationals and Tests, the Vijay Hazare Trophy now assumes added importance as they sharpen their focus on one-day cricket. Their participation not only elevates the tournament's profile but also reinforces the continued relevance of domestic cricket in India's elite ecosystem.
