History awaits Virat Kohli on his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The superstar batter will play India's premier domestic 50-over tournament after 15 years, and his much-awaited return has created a massive buzz in the cricket fraternity.
The 2024-25 season will kick off on December 24 with Delhi facing Andhra Pradesh at the BCCI Centre of Excellence (COE) in Bengaluru, among other first-round matches across the country.
Kohli and former India skipper Rohit Sharma are likely to play two matches in VHT before turning their attention towards preparing for the upcoming ODI series at home against New Zealand.
Kohli has the chance to script history in his comeback match on Wednesday. The Delhi dasher is just one run away from joining Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar in an elite list. If Kohli manages to avoid getting out on a duck against Andhra, he would breach the 16,000-run mark in domestic cricket and become only the second player after Sachin to reach the milestone in List A cricket.
Sachin is the highest run scorer for India in List A cricket with 21,999 runs. Kohli is well behind the Little Master on 15,999 runs in second spot.
Sachin Tendulkar - 21,999 runs in 538 innings
Virat Kohli - 15,999 runs in 329 innings
Rahul Dravid - 15,721 runs in 416 innings
Sourav Ganguly - 15,622 runs in 421 innings
Rohit Sharma - 13,758 runs in 338 innings
While Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for most runs in List A cricket by an Indian, he is not at the top in the all-time list. England batting legend Graham Gooch is the highest run-scorer in List A cricket with 22,211 runs. Not far behind is Gooch's former England teammate Graeme Hick, who amassed 22,059 runs in List A cricket across a long and illustrious career.
