Virat Kohli has continued his red-hot form in the second round of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26. After hitting a record century against Andhra Pradesh, Virat Kohli is even more dangerous in Delhi’s second Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 clash against Gujarat on Friday (December 26).
Virat Kohli Slams Blistering 29-Ball Fifty in Vijay Hazare Trophy Clash vs Gujarat
The dashing right-handed batter hammered a blazing half-century against Gujarat at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Singahalli. Gujarat tried to unsettle Kohli by having the wicketkeeper up to the stumps, but nothing has worked in their favor so far.
Kohli's assault began from the outset, racing to his fifty in just 29 balls. The Indian batting superstar reached the milestone with a powerful cut to the boundary from Ravi Bishnoi. He made 50 of his 53 runs with the help of boundaries.
From the very start, Kohli is keeping the bowlers under constant pressure while showing perfect balance and timing in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 encounter.
Here's how fans react to Virat Kohli's VHT domination:

Gujarat Spin Web Ends Virat Kohli’s Dominant Knock
However, Gujarat spinners managed to trouble the former Indian captain, and his scoring slowed down. Kohli’s impressive knock came to an end after a really smart piece of bowling from Gujarat’s left-arm spinner Jayswal.

The dashing right-hander was gently drawn out of his crease by the flight, and the ball then turned just enough to beat his outside edge.
The wicketkeeper, Urvil Patel, was quick to react and removed the bails as Kohli was stumped out after scoring 77 runs off 61 balls, laced with 13 boundaries and one six.
Virat Kohli Creates List A History with Record Average
It was the sixth consecutive 50+ score for Kohli, sending a huge warning to New Zealand ahead of the ODI series next month. However, Kohli might have missed his century, but he managed to make List A history. He has surpassed Michael Bevan’s 57.86 to record the highest batting average of 57.87 in the history of List A cricket with his stunning knock against Gujarat.
The record highlights Kohli’s unmatched consistency and class over the years, once again proving why he remains one of the greatest batters.
Rishabh Pant inches close to fifty
Now, all eyes are on Delhi captain and Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. He should be aiming to put up a significant contribution with the bat against Gujarat, having flopped in the first game against Andhra Pradesh.
Pant is currently batting on 34 and already smashed three boundaries and one six in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 clash on Friday. Currently Delhi’s score reads 154/5, with Vishal Jayswal taking three big wickets in the ongoing clash at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground.
