With 2 back to back ducks in Australia, people thought Virat Kohli was over but that’s the class of this man. In last 5 fifty over games he’s got 74* , 135 , 102, 65 * & 131. You just cannot count him out. Have said this before will say it again.
ODI cricket = Virat Kohli…

And expectedly, Rohit Sharma has hammered a fifty with the help of as many as four sixes. He is smashing Sikkim bowlers with utter disdain. A superlative half-century, his 75th in List-A cricket, in just 28 balls.

• Batters are on fire on the Vijay Hazare Trophy's opening day! 😍
• Odisha's Swastik Samal smashed a massive 212 off 169 balls against Saurashtra in Bengaluru, joining the elite list with the joint 4th highest individual score in the tournament's history! 🔥
• Odisha hammered 345/6, with captain Samantaray also hammering a century. 

Now, the moment for which the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is packed has arrived. Rohit Sharma has come out to bat for Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. With a chase of 237 runs in sight, a leaner and fitter Rohit Sharma has entered the crease.

Vijay Hazare Trophy Innings Break Summaries (Elite Group)

Well, another blistering century coming your way in the opening round of VHT. Right after the high of getting selected in India's T20I World Cup squad, Ishan Kishan has smoked a 33-ball century for Jharkhand against Karnataka. This is not only the 2nd fastest List-A ton by an Indian ever, but the fastest in Elite Group history. 

Fastest List-A Century

Sakibul Gani has done something magical for Bihar. He has now not only become the Indian with the fastest List-A hundred (32 balls) but also took his side to a mammoth 564 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy plate group match. The 26-year-old has surpassed Anmolpreet Singh's record of 35-ball hundred. Vaibhav Suryavanshi's century now stands fifth on the all-time list and third among Indians.

Fastest List A century (Indians)

Bihar blast highest List-A team total

On the back of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's breathtaking 190 off 84 balls, Bihar have scripted the highest List-A team total ever. In the opening match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate Group, they have surpassed Tamil Nadu's previous highest of 506/2. Bihar have made over 520 runs and there are still more than two overs to go. 🚨

Unlike at BCCI's Centre of Excellence, where Virat Kohli is playing, Rohit Sharma's match in Jaipur has allowed fans to watch the live action. 

Arrangements made to welcome fans at stadium - 3,000.

Fans came at the Jaipur Stadium - 10,000.
