The sixth round of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 ended on Tuesday and while there were a few substantial performances, there were a number of Indian players who failed to impress for their respective teams. The likes of Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Mohammed Shami, and Yashasvi Jaiswal remain in focus. InsideSport takes a look at, what made the headlines in brief.
India watch, mixed day in the office
Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant had a decent outing — where he went on to score 24 from 9 — including three sixes and a four. Chasing a low total — 180 vs Railways, the team got home in 22 overs. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan did not have the best of days. Playing against MP, he could only score 9 runs, while Jharkhand still managed to win the encounter.
In another match, India batter KL Rahul couldn’t get to a fifty again. After scores of 35 and 25, he could manage 25 again vs Rajasthan. Yashasvi Jaiswal too wasn’t at his best. In the match — Mumbai vs HP, he scored only 15 from 18.
Shubman Gill & Shreyas Iyer return
Coming back from injury breaks, Gill and Iyer had contrasting returns to competitive cricket. The Mumbai cricketer went to score 82 from 53 deliveries, which had 10 fours and 3 sixes. All this, after a life-threatening injury he faced in Australia. Gill, meanwhile could only score 11 vs Goa.
Aman Rao gets daddy hundred
Little known Hyderabad opener exceeded expectations as he went on to score 200 from 154 deliveries. He went on to slam 13 sixes and 12 fours. The team scored 352/5. Unfortunately, Tilak Varma could not do much and scored 34. Rajasthan were all out for 174.
