Virat Kohli is currently performing brilliantly in ODI matches. If we look at the statistics of Vijay Hazare Trophy, Virat has scored 584 runs in the last 6 innings at an incredible average of 146. Vijay has scored one century and one half-century in the Hazare Trophy for Delhi.

Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “If God had given me a boon, I would have said to bring back Virat Kohli from retirement and make him play Test cricket. What could be more exciting than this for a country with a population of 1.5 billion. His fitness is like that of a 20-year-old youth, he is pure gold of 24 carats.”
