Virat Kohli’s comeback to the Vijay Hazare Trophy has been nothing short of remarkable. Playing domestic 50-over cricket after a long gap, Kohli looked in sublime touch right from the start. In Bengaluru, he played a crucial role in Delhi’s consecutive victories, underlining his commitment to domestic cricket despite being a global icon.
In Delhi’s opening match of the tournament, Kohli produced a brilliant century against Andhra Pradesh, setting the tone for his campaign. He followed it up with a solid half-century against Gujarat at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 2, once again proving his class and hunger for runs.
Vishal Jaiswal Gets the Big WicketDuring the Delhi vs Gujarat encounter, Gujarat’s young spinner Vishal Jaiswal delivered a moment that will stay with him forever. Bowling left-arm spin, Jaiswal tempted Kohli to step out of the crease. The ball spun away sharply, beating Kohli’s bat, and wicketkeeper Urvil Patel reacted swiftly to complete a smart stumping.
The dismissal came as a major breakthrough for Gujarat and a rare personal milestone for Jaiswal—getting the wicket of one of the greatest batters of modern cricket.
Kohli’s Special Gift for the Young BowlerAfter the match, Virat Kohli showed his trademark humility and respect for young talent. He gifted Vishal Jaiswal the match ball signed by him, turning the dismissal into a lifelong memory for the Gujarat bowler.
Jaiswal later took to Instagram, sharing a photograph with Kohli along with a picture of the signed ball. The post quickly caught attention across social media, with fans praising Kohli’s gesture and Jaiswal’s heartfelt words.
Vishal Jaiswal’s Emotional Instagram PostIn his emotional post, Vishal Jaiswal wrote about what the moment meant to him as a young cricketer. He expressed gratitude not only for the wicket but also for the journey that led him to share the field with his childhood hero.
“From watching him dominate world cricket to sharing the same field and getting his wicket, this is a moment I never imagined would become reality. Taking Virat bhai’s wicket is something I will always remember. I am truly grateful for this opportunity, this journey, and everything this beautiful game has given me,” Jaiswal wrote.
The post resonated strongly with cricket fans, symbolizing how inspirational figures like Kohli continue to motivate the next generation.
Jaiswal’s Strong Bowling Performance Against DelhiVishal Jaiswal didn’t just dismiss Kohli—he delivered an all-round impressive bowling performance. The left-arm spinner finished his spell with 4 wickets for 42 runs, playing a key role in Gujarat’s bowling effort.
Apart from Kohli, Jaiswal also dismissed:
-
Rishabh Pant (70) – Delhi’s captain
-
Arpit Rana (10)
-
Nitish Rana (12)
His disciplined bowling and ability to pick up crucial wickets highlighted his potential as a promising spinner in India’s domestic circuit.
Kohli and Rohit Shine in Domestic CricketAfter completing two matches, Virat Kohli departed from Bengaluru on Friday. However, reports suggest that he may feature in one more Vijay Hazare Trophy match for Delhi ahead of India’s upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand in January.
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma also made headlines in the tournament. Representing Mumbai, Rohit smashed a stunning 155-run knock against Sikkim, guiding his team to a massive win. However, he couldn’t replicate the performance in the following match, getting out for a duck against Uttarakhand.
A Moment That Reflects the Spirit of CricketThe exchange between Virat Kohli and Vishal Jaiswal perfectly captured the spirit of cricket—respect between generations, humility from a global superstar, and gratitude from a rising talent. While Kohli continues to impress with the bat, moments like these further enhance his legacy beyond statistics.
For Vishal Jaiswal, dismissing Virat Kohli and receiving a signed match ball will remain a defining chapter in his career—a reminder of how dreams in cricket can truly come true.
