Vijay Hazare Trophy: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma return to action

The 2025 Vijay Hazare Trophy has turned into one of the most anticipated domestic tournaments in recent history, especially thanks to the rare participation of India’s two biggest icons today, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. After the respective state teams made successful returns to Mumbai and Delhi, the spotlight now turns to their upcoming fixtures as fans clamor for details on match schedules and broadcast availability.

It is a rare event for fans to see top Indian players don the domestic whites and their participation is sure to raise the standard of the competition. Budding cricketers gain invaluable experience by playing alongside stars like Kohli and Rohit Sharma. This reminds supporters that domestic cricket has significant importance in the Indian cricket landscape.

After these matches, they will turn their focus to international fixtures as the Indian team is scheduled to host New Zealand in the ODI series in January. Competing in domestic matches would provide excellent pre-season preparation for both players, especially after a busy international season.

They will take to the field in the next tournament on December 26 (Friday). Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai will face Uttarakhand and Virat Kohli’s Delhi will face Gujarat.

Unfortunately, previous matches involving Rohit and Virat were not broadcast or aired. As a result, fans are wondering how they can catch their next game. Unfortunately, neither the Mumbai-Uttarakhand nor Delhi-Gujarat matches will be available for live streaming or streaming.

Where can fans catch Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in action?

In the Vijay Hazare Trophy, all 38 teams will compete on the same day and the matches will start simultaneously. Even though there are 19 matches at a time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is broadcasting only a select few games, similar to the approach taken during the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT).

It was revealed that broadcast facilities were set up at only two venues, with matches being played only at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot.

Virat Kohli will participate in all the tournament matches at the BCCI Center of Excellence in Bengaluru, while Rohit Sharma will compete at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. Unfortunately, neither venue will have broadcast or streaming capabilities, meaning their matches won’t be available to watch anywhere. However, scoring updates and highlights will be published on BCCI’s official website and app, ensuring that important moments are not missed.
