Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli is almost certain to play in the first match of the Vijay Hazare Tournament between Delhi and Andhra Pradesh, which will start on December 24. This will be Kohli's first appearance in a domestic tournament after 15 years. Before this, he played in the 2010 Vijay Hazare Trophy. This time too, Kohli will be playing for Delhi. Kohli, who played his first Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2008, had appeared in domestic ODIs until 2010. But after being selected for Team India, King Kohli never looked back. Especially after the 2011 ODI World Cup, Kohli became an integral part of the Indian team. Hence, the idea of ​​playing a domestic tournament never came up. The BCCI has now directed that the players who are out of the Indian team should play in domestic tournaments. Thus, key players including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be playing in the Vijay Hazare Tournament. How is Kohli's performance in the Vijay Hazare Tournament?
