According to the most recent information, senior batsman Virat Kohli may not participate for Delhi versus Railways in their forthcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26 campaign. The sixth round of the competition will take place at the KSCA Three Ovals Ground 2 in Alur on Tuesday, January 6.
The star batsman will be wearing the Delhi jersey for this match, according to earlier confirmation from Rohan Jaitley, President of the Delhi & District Cricket Association. Although the precise cause is unknown, it is likely that the cricket player would be unavailable due to his impending arrival to the Indian team for the forthcoming ODI series against New Zealand.
Virat Kohli will not be available, according to the most recent information.
Although India’s 15-man roster for the three ODIs includes Delhi’s skipper Rishabh Pant, there are encouraging indications that the wicketkeeper-batter may play the next game before departing for national obligations. The players are expected to join the team on Wednesday, and the series against the BlackCaps will start on January 11.
While away from national service, centrally contracted players are required by the BCCI to participate in at least two domestic competition matches. It is not necessary for Kohli to play any more games because he has already participated in a few. Pant, on the other hand, has participated in all five Delhi games and might play his final game on Tuesday before rejoining the team captained by Shubman Gill.
Returning to Virat Kohli domestic competition exploits, the top-order batsman began the season with a spectacular century in the first round and a strong 77 in the second. For his knock in the second-round match, where Pant had also excelled with a half-century, he was also named Player of the Match. For the ODIs, both players will now be seen with the Men in Blue.
India Squad for NZ ODIs: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (wicketkeeper-batter), Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshdeep Singh.
