Thank you for joining us on the live coverage of the Vijay Hazare Trophy today. Virat Kohli's 'Player of the Match' display stands out, while Rinku Singh's 56-ball hundred and Devdutt Padikkal and Karun Nair's centuries were also major highlights.

Stay tuned to NDTV Sports for all the live and latest sports updates. Goodbye!

Madhya Pradesh beat Tamil Nadu by 2 wickets! A last-over victory for MP, who are led by Venkatesh Iyer. They chase down a target of 281 with 3 balls to spare. Yash Dubey and Himanshu Mantri with knocks of 92 and 90 to power MP to victory.

MP 283/8 (49.3)

Virat Kohli - Player of the Match! Very well-deserved for the 37-year-old. On a day where batters struggled to score runs, Kohli made it look easy, slamming 77 off just 61. He smashed his fifty in only 29 balls. Also took two catches. 

208 runs in 2 matches - if this is the end of Kohli's Vijay Hazare journey this year, then it's been a highly successful run.

Karnataka win! Karun Nair remains unbeaten till the end on 130, as Karnataka chase down 285 against Kerala with 10 balls to spare. An 8-wicket victory. Devdutt Padikkal also slammed 124, his second-successive century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

KAR 285/2 (48.2)

A convincing win in the end for Mumbai. Rohit Sharma did not fare well with the bat, but Mumbai's star-studded team did the business. Our thoughts remain with young Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who suffered a devastating injury while trying to take a catch. Let's hope he has a speedy recovery.

UT 280/9 (50)

IT'S ALL DONE! Delhi win by 7 runs! Ravi Bishnoi is the last wicket to fall. Virat Kohli takes the final catch, Prince Yadav scalps the last wicket. Delhi have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! Stunning comeback. They have picked up the last 3 wickets in the space of 10 balls!

GUJ 247 all out (47.4)

Another wicket! More drama! Delhi pacer Prince Yadav inflicts a run out and Gujarat are now 8 wickets down! 15 more runs to get, but Delhi are 2 wickets away!

GUJ 240/8 (46.1)

Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are staring at defeat here. Gujarat need just 16 more runs to win, while Delhi still need 3 wickets. We have 4 overs left. 

GUJ 239/7 (46)

CENTURY for Karun Nair! A top-class hundred from the man who has been ignored from the Indian Test team recently. Along with Padikkal, Karun Nair has taken Karnataka towards their second straight win. 12 boundaries so far for Karun.

KAR 240/2 (42.3)

Harnoor Singh and Anmolpreet Singh have both smashed unbeaten hundreds to take Punjab to a convincing 9-wicket victory over Chhattisgarh. Punjab have chased down 254 with 7.5 overs to spare, and talented batters like Naman Dhir, Ramandeep Singh and Salil Arora haven't even needed to bat.

Simarjeet Singh strikes! Crucial, crucial sixth wicket for Delhi, and that will bring some relief to Rishabh Pant. Gujarat's Saurav Chauhan departs for a 43-ball 49. He has brought Gujarat close to victory, but has been unable to finish things off.

Gujarat need 42 runs in 48 balls. Delhi need 4 wickets.

GUJ 213/6 (42)

Mumbai captain Shardul Thakur has denied Uttarakhand's Yuvraj Chaudhary a century, dismissing him for 96. Uttarakhand are now 6 wickets down, and struggling in their daunting chase of 332. They need 112 runs in the last 10 overs.

UT 220/6 (40)

CENTURY for Devdutt Padikkal! What a knock from the left-hander. Back-to-back hundreds for the man who plays for RCB in the IPL. He has smashed another ton, and taken Karnataka to the brink of victory again, this time against Kerala.

KAR 193/1 (36)

Baroda win! Despite their late collapse, which saw them lose 4 wickets in 14 balls, they've stuck it out and clinched a 4-wicket win over Bengal. First defeat of the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Bengal. 

Krunal Pandya the star of the show with 3 wickets and a fifty. An average day for Bengal pacers Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep, as they got a wicket each.

BDA 209/6 (38.5)

Rinku Singh-led Uttar Pradesh have bundled out Chandigarh for just 140, thereby clinching a 227-run victory. Spinner Zeeshan Ansari, who plays for SRH in the IPL, took 4 wickets, while Vipraj Nigam scalped 2. A massive victory.

CHN 140 all out (29.3)

This is terrible news. Mumbai star Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been rushed to a hospital after a suffering a nasty injury to his head and shoulder while trying to take a difficult catch. He was carried off the field on a stretcher. Let's hope the youngster is okay, and it isn't something serious. 

Devdutt Padikkal is nearing a century for Karnataka, while Karun Nair has slammed a fifty. Padikkal is into the 90s. Karnataka, who chased down 413 against Jharkhand in the previous match, are well on track to achieve the target of 285 today against Kerala.

KAR 163/1 (30.5)

Baroda have suffered a late collapse here! Krunal Pandya and Priyanshu Moliya were guiding them home, but Baroda have now lost 4 wickets in the space of 14 balls. Akash Deep has taken a wicket, while Shahbaz Ahmed has grabbed two. The two former-RCB players have pulled Bengal back into the contest.

Game on! Baroda need 19 runs, Bengal need 4 wickets.

BDA 187/6 (36)

Rishabh Pant is utilising a really unusual strategy - and it is working! Pant has used as many as 8 bowlers, and part-timer Arpit Rana has delivered two wickets in quick succession. Navdeep Saini has also struck, with Virat Kohli taking a catch. Delhi are right back in the contest!

GUJ 125/4 (27.3)

Krunal Pandya, who plays for RCB in the IPL and is the elder brother of Hardik, has slammed a half-century for Baroda against Bengal. Baroda are cruising in their chase of 206. Mohammed Shami, Akash Deep and Mukesh Kumar haven't had much success. Baroda need just 30 more to win.

BDA 176/2 (33)

Another wicket for Mumbai! Shams Mulani dismisses Aanjaneya Suryavanshi, and sends Uttarakhand three wickets down. Mumbai are aiming to put the brakes on the run chase in the middle overs.

UT 118/3 (24)

Gujarat are cruising at the moment against Delhi. They have lost just one wicket, and have crossed the 100-run mark. Aarya Desai has slammed a half-century, while Abhishek R Desai has made a solid start. Rishabh Pant will be wondering how he can break this stand. Delhi need a few quick wickets.

GUJ 118/1 (24)

Wow, Ruturaj Gaikwad! Maharashtra's captain walks in at No. 4 and blazes a 13-ball 38 to take his side to victory over Sikkim. 151 was never going to be too daunting a target, especially after Prithvi Shaw's half-century. But Gaikwad has smashed 6 boundaries and 2 sixes to guide his team home in just 18 overs!

MAH 153/2 (18)

Delhi would've been desperate for early wickets given the fact that their total is only 254, but it's not been a great start. Gujarat's opening pair has survived the first 10 overs, with Aarya Desai and Urvil Patel taking the team close to 50.

Meanwhile, after Shardul Thakur's early wicket, Mumbai haven't managed any inroads either into the Uttarakhand batting. Yuvraj Chaudhary and Kunal Chandela have steadied the ship.

Uttar Pradesh have begun their defence of 367 very well against Chandigarh, who are 3 wickets down already. All-rounder Prashant Veer has scalped a wicket in his very first over. The youngster was purchased for Rs 14.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction.

CHN 48/3 (7)

50 for Prithvi Shaw! The Maharashtra opener achieves the milestone in 43 balls, slamming eight fours and a six. However, he falls shortly after. 51 off 43 for Shaw

MAH 70/1 (11)

Shardul Thakur and Rohit Sharma combine to help Mumbai strike early against Uttarakhand. Kamal Singh walks back after managing a solitary run from 10 balls. Mumbai on top!

UT 4/1 (2.2)

Maharashtra opener Prithvi Shaw goes on a boundary-hitting rampage! He has quickly raced to 32, slamming six fours, with Maharashtra cruising in pursuit of 151 against Sikkim.
MAH 45/0 (7.5)

Mohammed Shami has picked up a wicket! The Bengal pacer has struck early on, dismissing Baroda opener Mitesh Patel. Shami needs to play a crucial role today if Bengal are to successfully defend a measly total of 205.

BDA 40/1 (6)

An impressive performance from Khaleel Ahmed today, who plays for CSK in the IPL. The left-arm seamer took 4 wickets, finishing with figures of 4/49 to restrict a high-flying Jharkhand to 301.

Virat Kohli's List A average is now the highest by any batter in List A cricket history! He now averages 57.87, going past Australia legend Michael Bevan's 57.86. His knock of 77 today has seen him achieve this record.

RINKU SINGH! Take a bow! The Uttar Pradesh captain has smashed a century in just 58 balls against Chandigarh. A sensational innings, with 11 boundaries and 4 sixes, that has propelled UP to a mammoth total of 367. 

Rinku ends unbeaten on 106 off 60!

UP 367/4 (50)

End of 50 overs and Delhi have managed to post 254 against Gujarat. Virat Kohli hit a fantastic 61-ball 77, and Rishabh Pant made a fighting 70. But the rest of the batting did not do well, save Harsh Tyagi's 40. This will be a big challenge for Delhi to defend.

DEL 254/9 (50)

Mumbai wicket-keeper Hardik Tamore has smashed 93 off 82 balls, and has almost single-handedly taken his team past the 300-run mark against Uttarakhand. Tamore's image with Rohit Sharma went viral recently, with the internet labelling him as Rohit's 'doppelganger'.

MUM 331/7 (50)

Aryan Juyal has departed after a magnificent knock of 134 for UP against Chandigarh, and he has been replaced at the crease by Prashant Veer, who was bought by CSK for Rs 14.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction! UP are nearing 350.

UP 313/4 (45.1)

Half-century for Rinku Singh! This has been a superb knock from Uttar Pradesh's captain. The left-hander reaches the milestone with a maximum, completing it in 35 balls. Aryan Juyal is unbeaten on 125 at the moment. UP have 350 in sight against Chandigarh.

UP 292/4 (42.4)

Bengal have been bundled out for just 205 in 38.3 overs by Baroda. Anustup Majumdar made 47, Karan Lal 40 and Abishek Porel 38. However, star batter Abhimanyu Easwaran failed to fire. They'll be hoping for a good bowling effort, led by Mohammad Shami and Akash Deep.

5-wicket haul for Baroda's Raj Limbani, while captain Krunal Pandya scalped 3!

BEN 205 all out (38.3)

Rishabh Pant is gone! The wicket-keeper batter hit an uncharacteristically patient half-century, but upped the tempo after reaching the milestone. However, much like Kohli, Pant also falls short of his hundred. He departs for 70.

Delhi will be hoping to get to 250, but safe to say, it hasn't been a great batting display apart from Kohli and Pant.

DEL 225/6 (45)

Jharkhand's Shikhar Mohan has hit a fabulous century against Rajasthan, standing tall in Ishan Kishan's absence, making 129 off 118. His century has taken Jharkhand past the 200-run mark. Anukul Roy is now at the crease.

Aryan Juyal has made a century for Uttar Pradesh against Chandigarh. He is still unbeaten, and is batting alongside Rinku Singh, as UP eye a final flourish.

50 for Rishabh Pant! The Delhi captain has had to play an unnaturally patient knock, but he smashes a maximum to reach the milestone. This will be a major confidence boost for Pant, as he had not scored well in the previous match.

DEL 186/5 (39)

Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who plays for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, has had a good game for Rajasthan against Jharkhand so far. Khaleel has bowled two maidens in his six overs, and delivered an absolute ripper Utkarsh Singh.

Day starts with Khaleel Ahmed magic #VijayHazareTrophypic.twitter.com/TBDDhYC3Fz

— WhistlePodu Army - CSK Fan Club (@CSKFansOfficial) December 26, 2025

Delhi captain Rishabh Pant is inching towards a half-century against Gujarat. He is on 38 off 48. However, apart from him and Kohli, the rest of the Delhi side have not fared well today. Nitish Rana and Ayush Badoni have both departed for 12 each.

DEL 159/5 (32.4)

BIG BLOW! Sai Sudharsan has retired hurt. No official news yet as to why, but the left-handed opener has retired hurt on 51 off 52 balls in Tamil Nadu's match against Madhya Pradesh. He has been replaced at the crease by Pradosh Ranjan Paul.

TN 100/0 (23.3)

Following Rohit Sharma's first-ball departure and Angkrish Raghuvanshi's low score, Mumbai have been bailed out by brothers Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan. Musheer, the younger of the two, was the first to score a fifty, which was followed quickly by Sarfaraz.

Both brothers are now out, having made 55 each.

MUM 135/4 (22)

Another India Test star has impressed today - B Sai Sudharsan has completed his half-century, going at nearly a run-a-ball for Tamil Nadu against Madhya Pradesh. In fact, TN are yet to lose a a wicket, and the opening pair of Sudharsan and Jagadeesan have batted for more than 20 overs.

TN 92/0 (21)

GONE! Virat Kohli departs! The 37-year-old has been stumped out. He departs for 77, leaving Delhi 4 wickets down against Gujarat. Vishal B Jayswal is the wicket-taker. Kohli and Rishabh Pant batted together briefly.

DEL 109/4 (22)

Dhruv Jurel has slammed consecutive half-centuries in the Vijay Hazare Trophy! The wicket-keeper is batting at No. 3 for UP this season, and so far, he's made a great impression! He's slammed 11 boundaries already, and is up to 64 off just 52 balls, in UP's game against Chandigarh.

UP 89/1 (16)

Rohit Sharma got out for a golden duck today for Mumbai against Uttarakhand. Here's a look at his dismissal, as filmed by a fan in the stands at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur:

Opener Arpit Rana has departed for 10 for Delhi. A poor knock, where he struggled, facing 31 balls. Nitish Rana, who slammed 77 in the last game, has walked in to bat at No. 4 and joined Kohli at the crease. Meanwhile, Kohli is on 63 off 44!

DEL 78/2 (14)

B Sai Sudharsan has made a fiery start, and is batting on 22 off 20 balls for Tamil Nadu against Madhya Pradesh. The left-hander, who won the Orange Cap in IPL 2025, is batting alongside N Jagadeesan.

TN 41/0 (10)

Elsewhere, Bengal are off to a poor start against Baroda, losing two early wickets. Abhimanyu Easwaran, who has been in and around the India squads for a long time, got out for just 5. It is wicket-keeper batter Abishek Porel who is still batting at the other end.

BEN 29/2 (7.2)

Half-century for Virat Kohli! The maestro has done it in just 29 balls. 11 boundaries, 1 six. This has been a classy knock, and he has made sure Delhi have got a fiery start despite the early jolt of losing Priyansh Arya's wicket.

DEL 64/1 (10.3)

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, will be awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar today, which is India's highest civilian honour for children (ages 5-18), recognizing his outstanding contribution in Sports. He will receive the award from President Droupadi Murmu, and is set to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi later today.

Kohli has slammed three more boundaries! He is no mood of stopping. This is a blazing start by the 37-year-old, who is now just 14 runs away from his half-century. Kohli is batting on 36 off 20. At the other end, Arpit Rana is on just 5 off 21.

DEL 44/1 (8)

Virat Kohli is on a roll! Two more boundaries! Delhi's innings is up and running against Gujarat, and it is Kohli stealing the show at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. He has raced to 22 off just 13 balls!

Virat Kohli has started off with a bang! Coming in to bat after Priyansh Arya's early dismissal, the right-hander has slammed two boundaries and a maximum inside his first 10 balls, showing that he is very much in form. 

Rohit Sharma is out first ball! Disaster for the thousands of fans in Jaipur, who had come to watch Rohit bat. The 38-year-old is gone on the very first delivery. Uttarakhand's Bora gets him out in the very first over, with Jagmohan Nagarkoti taking the catch.

After a superb 155 in the first match, Rohit is out for 0 today.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are both going to bat first! Gujarat have won the toss and opted to bowl against Kohli's Delhi. On the other hand, Uttarakhand have opted to bowl against Mumbai's Rohit. 

Rohit is expected to open!

Shubman Gill, once again, is not playing for Punjab today! Neither is dashing opener Abhishek Sharma. Punjab are being led today by Prabhsimran Singh against Chhattisgarh, with talents like Salil Arora, Naman Dhir and Ramandeep Singh set to play.

Major shock! Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not playing for Bihar today! The 14-year-old sensation has not been picked today against Manipur; we're not quite sure yet why. 

On Wednesday, more than 10,000 fans flocked to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur to watch Rohit Sharma play. Looks like it could be the same today! Massive fanfare again, with fans rushing to catch a glimpse of the No. 1 ODI batter in the world!

Big news! Vaibhav Suryavanshi should in action shortly, as Bihar have been put into bat by Manipur in their Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate game. Let's see if the 14-year-old sensation is able to play another stunning knock today!

The first matchday of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, on Wednesday, was filled with records tumbling left, right and centre!

Rohit Sharma's Mumbai, on the other hand, take on Uttarakhand. The 38-year-old Rohit, playing in the Vijay Hazare for the first time in seven years, smashed a breathtaking 155 off just 94 balls to steer Mumbai to a big win.

Virat Kohli guided Delhi to victory in their first Vijay Hazare Trophy game against Andhra. The 'Chasemaster' was in full flow, turning a chase of 299 into a cakewalk, as Delhi won with more than 12 overs to spare. Today, Delhi will be playing against Gujarat, who boast the likes of Ravi Bishnoi, Harshal Patel and Urvil Patel!

After missing Punjab's opening game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign against Maharashtra, it would be interesting to see if Shubman Gill, India's ODI captain, finds a place in the playing XI against Chhattisgarh today. Punjab had beaten Maharashtra by 51 runs in their previous match.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second round of group fixtures in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. It was a memorable outing for icons Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the opening matches of the domestic one-day tournament while Bihar scripted history, thanks to Vaibhav Suryavanshi's mind-boggling knock of 190 runs. As the players regroup again, the 14-year-old Suryavanshi is bound to share the spotlight with the likes of Kohli and Rohit.
