The 'Ro-Ko' were truly unstoppable, continuing their fine touch in the format they have mastered and proving they are not going anywhere and that the 'Mission 2027 ODI World Cup' is on
Against Andhra Pradesh at BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, Virat's impeccable chase-master instincts and tempo helped Delhi chase down 299 in just 37 overs
On the other hand, former India captain Rohit Sharma also cracked a brilliant 62-ball ton, staying unbeaten at 155 not out in just 94 balls, with 18 fours and nine sixes till the end, chasing down the target with almost 20 overs and eight wickets in hand
While Delhi lost Arpit Rana early, a 113-run stand between Priyansh Arya (74 in 44 balls, with seven fours and five sixes) and Virat put Delhi in a steady position
Rohit while putting up a batting masterclass, also joined Australian great David Warner for the joint-most 150-plus scores in List A cricket, with a total of nine each
Virat also became the second Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar (21,999 runs) to complete 16,000 List-A cricket runs and the overall ninth player to reach the milestone
Both Virat and Rohit Sharma are playing domestic cricket to keep their reflexes and match fitness on point following an outstanding series against South Africa at home and a fine overall year in ODIs
