Rohit Sharma Duck in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025

In the second match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025, Mumbai are clashing against Uttarakhand in Jaipur. Uttarakhand skipper Kunal Chandela won the toss and chose to bowl first. His decision turned out to be a well-planned one as bowler Devendra Singh Bora dismissed Rohit Sharma in the last ball of the first over. Rohit Sharma duck in VHT was a special moment for the bowler. His wicket was definitely quite disappointing for the fans and the team.

As we write, Mumbai have scored 114/2 in 18 overs. While they have lost both their openers, Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan are at the crease, trying to build a partnership and put up a defendable score. After Rohit was dismissed, opener Angkrish Raghuvanshi was bowled out by Jagmohan Nagarkoti for just 11 off 20 balls.

Just like the first match, the fans had gathered around to watch Rohit perform in the ongoing tournament. After this, India will play an ODI and T20I series against New Zealand, starting on January 11. Hence, the BCCI wanted all the senior players to take part in the VHT to stay in touch with the game.

Rohit Sharma's Recent Performances in ODIs

The fans waited for months to watch Rohit Sharma in action ever since the star opener retired from Tests and T20Is. Known for his fearless batting approach, Rohit has been in outstanding form in white-ball cricket. After the Champions Trophy and the IPL, he played his first series against Australia in October 2025 and won the Player of the Series award for a half-century and a century that he scored during the 3-match series. He started the series by getting dismissed on eight runs but went on to score 73 and 121*. He showed why he is still considered one of the best ODI batsman in the world.

In the South Africa series, he scored 57, 14, and 75, proving to the world that he is in form and is ready to play the ODI World Cup 2027. When BCCI urged the senior players to participate in the VHT, nobody had imagined Rohit to slam 155 runs off 94 balls in the first game of the tournament. Overall, the past few months have been quite brilliant for Rohit in terms of scoring runs. He hopes to keep scoring runs in the upcoming matches as well.
