Kohli Smashes Century on Vijay Hazare Return, Joins Sachin in Elite 16,000-Run Club

  • Virat Kohli scored his 58th List A century (131 off 101 balls) on his Vijay Hazare Trophy comeback after 15 years, playing for Delhi against Andhra in Bengaluru.
  • This century made Kohli only the second Indian, after Sachin Tendulkar, and ninth overall, to achieve 16,000 or more runs in List A cricket.
  • Kohli's innings helped Delhi recover from a shaky start, putting them on track to chase Andhra's challenging target of 299 runs.
  • Sachin Tendulkar holds the record as the third-highest run-scorer in List A format with 21,999 runs, including 60 centuries.
  • Rohit Sharma also hit a quick century (155 off 94 balls) for Mumbai against Sikkim in Jaipur, marking his first Vijay Hazare Trophy appearance since 2018.

Why It Matters: Kohli's century on VHT return places him alongside Sachin Tendulkar in an exclusive List A run-scoring club.
