Star India batter Virat Kohli has confirmed his availability for the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy, informing Delhi and District Cricket Association president Rohan Jaitley on Tuesday. The domestic 50-over competition begins December 24, with Delhi facing Andhra Pradesh in their opener. Kohli's decision ends speculation about his domestic commitments and alleged reluctance to participate. The current management, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, has encouraged senior players' participation to ensure match readiness ahead of the 2027 World Cup. Kohli last played the Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2010 when he captained Delhi against Services. His return after 15 years aims to strengthen Delhi's campaign following disappointing performances.(PC: The Cricketer)
