Vijay Hazare Trophy: Rohit Sharma's return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy was quite memorable. He scored 155 runs against Sikkim. For this impressive performance, Rohit Sharma was named Player of the Match, leading to interesting comparisons with Virat Kohli.

Vijay Hazare Trophy: Former Indian captain Rohit Sharma performed brilliantly in the first match of the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Appearing in this domestic ODI tournament after nearly seven years, Rohit performed brilliantly while opening for Mumbai against Sikkim. He scored a century in just 62 balls and played an explosive innings of 155 runs in 94 balls. During this, Rohit hit 18 fours and 9 sixes and led his team to a one-sided victory.

How much money did Rohit Sharma get?

Sikkim, batting first, scored 236 runs in 50 overs, but Rohit's aggressive batting proved to be a small target. Mumbai achieved this target in just 30.3 overs, registering a comprehensive victory by 8 wickets. For his match-winning innings, Rohit was named Player of the Match and received a cheque of ₹10,000. Rohit's return is also special because he hadn't played domestic tournaments for a long time due to his busy schedule in international cricket. However, his form clearly shows that the "Hitman" is still in his prime.

However, Rohit's ₹10,000 reward is being compared to another Indian legend, Virat Kohli. Virat is renowned for his fitness and drinks premium quality water. According to reports, his favorite is Evian Natural Spring Water from France, which is rich in minerals and alkaline in nature. This water costs around ₹4,000 per liter in India. Fans are jokingly commenting that Rohit's reward money might not even buy Virat three bottles of water. This is a light-hearted comment that highlights the luxurious lifestyles and fitness commitment of both stars.

Virat Kohli's bat also performed well

Virat Kohli's return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy was also memorable. He played in the tournament after 15 years and scored a brilliant century. In the match against Andhra Pradesh, Virat Kohli scored 131 runs off 101 balls for Delhi, including 14 fours and 3 sixes. Delhi achieved the target of 299 runs in 37.4 overs
