Vijay Hazare Trophy: Virat Kohli smashed his third century in four innings in the format during his first VHT match for Delhi in 15 years against Andhra in Bengaluru on Wednesday, joining Rohit Sharma who made a compelling 155 in Jaipur.
After Rohit Sharma’s whopping 155 for Mumbai in Sikkim, Virat Kohli ended his 15-year break from the Vijay Hazare Trophy with a characteristic century in a 299-run chase against Andhra at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru on Wednesday.
Steering the tall chase with his typical flair in the format, Kohli stormed his way to a rollicking hundred in under 85 deliveries, making it his 58th List A century and a third hundred in four innings since the South Africa series earlier this month. With his first run of the innings, Kohli became only the ninth man in history to reach 16,000 List A runs, over 14,000 of which have come in India colours since his debut in 2008.
