Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are participating in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 to prepare for the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand and potentially the 2027 ODI World Cup. Kohli scored 131 in Delhi's win against Andhra Pradesh, while Sharma hit 155 in Mumbai's victory over Sikkim. Delhi faces Gujarat and Mumbai plays Uttarakhand, though these matches are not being live-streamed and Delhi's game is behind closed doors.
