Virat Kohli's last List A appearance for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy was in 2010 on February 18 against Services in Gurgaon. Kohli was the captain of the team, and Delhi won that match by 113 runs. The skipper scored 16 (8) while batting at number five. (BCCI Photo)
The VHT has played a major role in promoting Kohli's career. He scored 534 runs in seven matches in the 2008-09 season, the highest. His four centuries in the edition remained a record till 2022-23 when Narayan Jagadeesan broke it. (AFP image)
Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, made his last VHT appearance in the knockouts of the 2018 edition. He played just two matches, scoring an unbeaten 33 in the quarter-final against Bihar and 17 off 24 in the semi-final against Hyderabad. (Picture credit: ICC)

Pakistan 92 all out; West Indies romp hapless Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan to end 34-year-long wait in ODIs
Mohammad Rizwan's Pakistan were bowled out for 92 in the third and final ODI against West Indies in Trinidad as the hosts registered an emphatic 202-run win to register a 2-1 series victory on Tuesday. Chasing 295, Pakistan failed to get going, and no batter was able to stay at the crease and show some fight. Babar Azam has now gone 72 innings without scoring a century in international cricket, and his form continues to go from bad to worse. Babar Azam scored just nine runs in the third ODI against West Indies. (AFP) Babar Azam departed back to the pavilion after scoring just nine runs. Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan, Hasan Ali and Abrar Ahmed registered ducks as there were a total of five Pakistan batters who failed to get on the scoring board. For the West Indies, Jayden Seales was the pick of the bowlers as he returned with six wickets, conceding 18 runs in 7.2 overs. Gudakesh Motie took two wickets while Roston Chase picked up one wicket. West Indies needed just 29.2 overs to bundle out Pakistan to register a famous win. With this victory, the West Indies registered their first home series win against Pakistan in a bilateral ODI series since 1988. This is also the West Indies' first bilateral ODI series win against Pakistan since 1991. Also Read: Babar Azam's three-ball duck exposes his hype, called 'overrated' Only Salman Ali Agha showed some determination to stay in the middle as he played a knock of 30 runs. However, with the other batters losing their wickets at the other end, it was only a matter of time before the hosts registered a memorable win. Shai Hope's century Earlier, West Indies captain Shai Hope played an unbeaten knock of 120, helped by 10 fours and 5 sixes, as the hosts posted 294/6 in the allotted fifty overs. Justin Greaves also chipped in with a useful cameo of 43 off 24 balls to help the West Indies get a late flourish and get over the 290-run mark. For this innings, Shai Hope was also declared the Player of the Match. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Hope said, 'It was very important for us to go deep. You want to set the tone in the powerplay. I wanted to give the team the best finish as well. We have struggled at times. We had 270-280 in mind. We had wickets in hand, wanted to capitalise.' 'Justin came in and played well. We had a pretty complete game today. I am extremely proud. We tend to stress on the negatives. We have been creating history in the last couple of years. Really great to see the guys pulling this off. Jayden is a quality bowler. I am more excited about his preparation. He is a class act. He can move the ball both ways. Bowling much better in white ball cricket,' he added. Earlier, West Indies had lost back-to-back T20I series against Australia and Pakistan. Before that, the team from the Caribbean was also annihilated in the day-night Test against Australia, leading to questions over the state of cricket in the islands. However, this series win against Pakistan comes as a welcome respite for head coach Daren Sammy.

Thiruvananthapuram Likely To Replace Bengaluru As A Venue For Women's ODI World Cup 2025; Heres Why
The Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram is likely to replace Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium as a venue for the upcoming 2025 Women's ODI World Cup, set to be played from September 30 to November 2. Sources aware of the development have told IANS that the Karnataka government not granting permission for hosting games at the stadium due to serious safety concerns on any activity at the venue after the June 4 stampede has meant that its allotted matches for the Women's ODI World Cup will now be moved to Thiruvananthapuram. 'Yes, it has come to light that due to no permissions coming on time for hosting World Cup games in Bengaluru, it will now be moving to Thiruvananthapuram, which is also an ideal venue due to weather conditions and its proximity to Colombo. The ICC will be officially announcing it soon,' sources further told IANS on Tuesday. Uncertainty over future matches taking place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has persisted since the June 4 stampede outside its premises during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2025 victory celebrations. The incident led to 11 deaths and over 50 people being injured, with the investigation still ongoing. Moreover, the findings by the Justice John Michael D'Cunha Commission had said that the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is ill-equipped to host large-scale events in a safe manner. While saying that the 'design and structure' of the venue are inherently 'unsuitable and unsafe' for mass gatherings, the committee also warned that hosting high-attendance events at the stadium would pose 'unacceptable risks to public safety, urban mobility, and emergency preparedness'. Due to this, the KSCA was forced to shift Maharaja T20 Trophy games to Wadeyar Ground in Mysuru while Alur hosted the Maharani T20 competition matches. As per the original schedule, Bengaluru was the venue for the opening game of the women's ODI World Cup between India and Sri Lanka, as well as host one semi-final and possibly the final on November 2. Bengaluru was also set to host two warm-up games ahead of the showpiece event. The Greenfield International Stadium, meanwhile, hasn't hosted women's international cricket games yet. But it has hosted four men's T20Is and two ODI games so far, as well as staged Youth Tests and ODIs. It was also a venue for the 2023 Men's ODI World Cup warm-ups, but games were abandoned due to incessant rain. Visakhapatnam, Indore, Guwahati, and Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital, are the other venues for the tournament to be played in a round-robin format among eight teams – defending champions Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. The 2025 Women's ODI World Cup will also be the first women's global cricket event in the sub-continent since India hosted the 2016 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. India has also staged the Women's ODI World Cup in 1978, 1997, and 2013, respectively.

Kaur wants to break the barrier at World Cup
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Monday said her team is determined to end its ICC trophy drought during next month's ODI Women's World Cup, adding that the preceding home series against title favourites Australia will give the side a clear picture of where it stands. India have never won a world title despite coming close on several occasions, including the 2017 ODI World Cup in England, where they finished runners-up and captured the nation's imagination. 'We want to break that barrier which all Indians are waiting for. World Cups are always special — always want to do something special for my country. Whenever I see Yuvi bhaiya (Yuvraj Singh) it gives me a lot of motivation,' Harmanpreet said at the trophy tour unveiling ceremony for the ODI World Cup. Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh, ex-captain Mithali Raj, and teammates Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues were also part of the event. India go into the Australia series, starting September 14, high on confidence after beating England in away ODI and T20I series. 'Playing against Australia is always challenging and we get to know what our standing is. The series (three ODIs vs Australia) will give us a lot of confidence. We have been putting a lot of effort in our training camps and the results are showing,' said Harmanpreet. Her match-winning 171* in the 2017 World Cup semifinal against Australia remains special. 'That knock was something really special to me and women's cricket. A lot changed for me after that. When we came back to India, even though we had lost, so many people were waiting and cheering for us. I still get goosebumps,' she added. Yuvraj backs Kaur & Co Yuvraj urged players to believe they can win matches for the country. Focus on the present situation rather than expectations, and stay in the moment. It's a wonderful chance to make history, but initially, don't concentrate solely on winning. Embrace the entire journey, have faith in the process, and the outcomes will follow," he remarked. The 2011 World Cup Player of the Tournament emphasized the importance of experience and self-confidence in critical moments. "To win the World Cup, there will be pressure, and things might not always go smoothly, but that's when experience becomes crucial. Have confidence that you can secure victory for your country on that day," Yuvraj stated. Focus on preparation Rodrigues said, 'A lot has changed with my preparation and mindset. I want my confidence to come from my preparation, and that gives me clarity.' Mandhana added, 'Our team is heading in a direction where we put in the hard work off the field so that on the field it becomes instinctive. That has been a massive change for the team and for me personally.' Mithali noted that the 2017 World Cup was the turning point for women's cricket in India.
