The Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) rolls into another decisive day as teams push for qualification with only a handful of group matches remaining. While there would be no Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma once again, there is no dearth of talent in this round of fixtures.
Shubman Gill and Arshdeep Singh are going to play today. Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Mohammed Siraj, Ishan Kishan, Axar Patel and Harshit Rana have also returned to their respective domestic sides. Meanwhile, the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Mohammed Shami would love to continue to impress. Also, what will Sarfaraz Khan do after his heroic 157 in the previous game?
Several heavyweight contests are on the menu today. Mumbai take on state rivals Maharashtra in Jaipur, Tamil Nadu meet Rajasthan in Ahmedabad, and Baroda lock horns with Vidarbha in Rajkot. Meanwhile, there’s also the Jharkhand vs Kerala fixture, where the latter has never beaten the Ishan Kishan-led side.
