Virat Kohli, who is returning to the Vijay Hazare Trophy after almost 15 years, is once again in the center of discussion. Virat can make a historic record in his name by playing for Delhi in the domestic ODI tournament. Delhi team will face Andhra Pradesh in its first match, which will be captained by Rishabh Pant.

According to BCCI instructions, it has been made mandatory for players with central contracts to play at least two matches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. For this reason, legends like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma are seen on the home ground this time. Virat is not only watching this tournament as match practice, but his record here has also been excellent.

Virat’s strong record in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Virat Kohli has so far played 17 matches for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He has scored 910 runs in 16 innings of these matches. During this period, his average has been more than 60, which shows the strength of his domestic ODI record. Virat has four centuries and four half-centuries in his name in the tournament, while his highest score is 124 runs. Even before becoming an international star, Virat had already made his mark in domestic cricket and in 2006 he played his first List A match for Delhi.

Virat has a golden opportunity in List A cricket

This match of Vijay Hazare Trophy is going to be even more special for Virat Kohli, because he is just one run away from achieving a big achievement in List A cricket. Virat has so far scored 15,999 runs in 342 List A matches. As soon as he scores a run, he will become the second Indian batsman to complete 16,000 runs. Before him, only Sachin Tendulkar had achieved this feat.

Virat’s List A average is more than 57, which shows his consistency in this format. He has 57 centuries and 84 half-centuries in his name. The record of scoring most centuries in this format is still in the name of Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 60 centuries.

Virat will be included in the list of greats

Talking about the players who have scored the most runs in List A cricket, England’s Graham Gooch is at the top of the list. After him, great batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Graeme Hick, Kumar Sangakkara, Viv Richards, Ricky Ponting and Sanath Jayasuriya are included. Virat Kohli is already a part of this special club and now another historical figure is going to be added to his name.
