“Virat and Rohit lighting up domestic cricket. It’s a lifetime experience for young domestic cricketers to share the dressing room with them and learn so much. Absolutely loving this phase of Indian cricket,” Pathan wrote on X.
The first half of the Vijay Hazare Trophy’s opening day featured record-breaking centuries, but Rohit and Kohli took centre stage in the second half, each scoring centuries upon their return to the premier one-day domestic tournament.
Rohit brought up his century in just 62 balls, while Kohli struck a swift 83-ball hundred, underlining their dominance over the opposition. Rohit made a notable return to domestic cricket, scoring a century in his first Vijay Hazare Trophy match in seven years for Mumbai on Wednesday.
