What a day of cricket!
If you thought domestic cricket was boring, today just proved you wrong. We had everything—Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant smashing fifties, Rinku Singh destroying bowlers, and a shocking golden duck for Rohit Sharma.
It was absolute chaos across the country. If you missed the action, don't worry. Here is the full wrap-up of a blockbuster day in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The "Delhi Boys" Show: Kohli & Pant Shine
All eyes were on Delhi as they took on Gujarat, and the superstars didn't disappoint.
Virat Kohli (77) and Rishabh Pant (70) stitched together a partnership that felt like a throwback. Watching them bat together in Delhi colors was a treat for the fans.
But it wasn't a walk in the park! Gujarat fought back hard. Their all-rounder Vishal Jayswal was the hero for them—he not only picked up 4 wickets (including stumping Kohli!) but also smashed a 19-ball 26.
In the end, Delhi survived by the skin of their teeth, winning by just 7 runs. A "tight win" indeed!
Heartbreak for Hitman, Mumbai Youngsters Step Up
While Kohli shined, it was a horror show for Rohit Sharma.
The Indian captain was dismissed for a first-ball duck against Uttarakhand. Silence in the stadium.
But Mumbai didn't panic. The "Khan Brothers" show took over. Sarfaraz Khan (55) and Musheer Khan (55) stabilized the ship, and Hardik Tamore played a blinder (93*) to guide Mumbai to a comfortable 51-run win. Even without Rohit’s runs, Mumbai looks dangerous.
The "Rinku Singh" Carnage
Uttar Pradesh vs Chandigarh was supposed to be a contest, but Rinku Singh turned it into a video game.
Rinku smashed a blistering 106 not out*, and along with Aryan Juyal (134), they posted a mammoth total. UP won by a massive 227 runs.
Let’s be honest—when Rinku is in this mood, no ground is big enough.
Run Machines: Karnataka & Haryana
- Karnataka: It was a "run-fest" for Karnataka as Karun Nair (130)* and Devdutt Padikkal (124) both scored centuries. They chased down the target against Kerala with 8 wickets in hand. Easy peasy.
- Haryana: Talk about domination! Yashwardhan Dalal played the innings of his life, scoring 164 off 135 balls*. Saurashtra had no answer, despite a century from Harvik Desai.
Other Thrillers & Heroes
- Goa vs Punjab: A nail-biter! Lalit Yadav’s century (104) helped Goa sneak a win by just 8 runs, overshadowing a brilliant 126 by Punjab's Pukhraj Mann.
- Vidarbha: Dhruv Shorey is in the form of his life. Another day, another century (109*) as Vidarbha crushed Hyderabad.
- Bowling Star: Shubham Singh from Jharkhand spun a web, taking 6 wickets for 50 runs to dismantle Rajasthan.
