Where to Watch Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 Match: Live Streaming & TV Details
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma return to Vijay Hazare Trophy on December 24, but their matches will not be live streamed or shown on TV.
Indian cricket fans will see Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma back in domestic List A cricket when the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025–26 begins on December 24.
It is a rare sight to have both senior stars turning out in the opening round of India’s 50-over domestic competition, which has added extra buzz to the start of the season.
Kohli will represent Delhi in their Group match against Andhra. The game will be played at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru, with the former India captain expected to bat in the top order.
Rohit, meanwhile, will line up for Mumbai against Sikkim. That match will be held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, a venue that has hosted several big domestic and international games over the years.
However, fans hoping to watch these high-profile returns live will be left disappointed. Neither Kohli’s match nor Rohit’s match will be shown on television or live streamed.
From the entire first round, only two fixtures will be available for live viewing. The matches between Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu, and Hyderabad and Uttar Pradesh, will be streamed on JioHotstar.
All first-round matches, including the ones featuring Kohli and Rohit, will begin at 9:30 AM IST on Wednesday, December 24.
Despite the lack of coverage, the return of two of India’s biggest names to domestic cricket has still caught attention. Their participation is seen as a reminder of the importance of domestic tournaments and a boost for younger players sharing the dressing room.
Fans will have to rely on score updates and match reports, but the presence of Kohli and Rohit has already made the Vijay Hazare Trophy opener a talking point.
