All You Need to Know About Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 Ft Virat Kohli: Full Schedule, Squads, Venues, and Timings for VHT

The domestic 50-over tournament, Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, will commence on December 24. The fans are excited for this edition of the event, as it will bring back two stalwarts, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, to domestic action after a long period. Here’s all you need to know about the upcoming VHT.

Last year, both the former Indian captains featured in a Ranji Trophy fixture for their respective sides, Delhi and Mumbai. While the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 will mark Kohli’s return to the tournament after 15 years, Rohit will also be back in the Mumbai outfit after featuring in the 2018 edition. However, Rishabh Pant will lead Delhi’s VHT team, while Shardul Thakur will continue to take charge of Mumbai.

After the BCCI’s mandate that all players not performing in International cricket must take part in the domestic competitions, a lot of Indian stars will be seen donning their respective State’s VHT jerseys.

A total of 38 teams, divided into four elite groups and a plate group, will lock horns in 127 league-stage matches before advancing to the knockouts. All the VHT matches will begin at 9:00 AM IST. The plate group final is scheduled to take place on January 6, while the elite group will conclude with the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 final on January 18.
