Exciting Comeback of Cricket Stars in Domestic Tournaments

Return of Cricket Icons to Domestic Fields

Once again, prominent cricket figures are making their return to domestic cricket, generating immense excitement among fans. However, this time, supporters might face some disappointment. In the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy for the 2025-26 season, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be seen playing for their respective teams.

Virat Kohli's Match Schedule

Virat Kohli will represent Delhi, with his first match scheduled against Andhra Pradesh on December 24. Initially, this game was set to take place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, but it has been relocated to the BCCI Centre of Excellence at the last minute. According to recent updates, the state government has decided to hold the match without spectators due to security concerns.

Rohit Sharma's Matches

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma will play for the Mumbai team, facing Sikkim first and then Uttarakhand. Both of these matches will be held in Jaipur, where local cricket enthusiasts are showing considerable enthusiasm.

Broadcasting Details

However, a significant point to note is that these high-profile matches will not be broadcast live. Despite JioStar being the official broadcaster for this season, the matches between Delhi and Andhra, as well as Mumbai and Sikkim, will not be available on television or live-streamed on digital platforms.

Fans' Reliance on Alternative Sources

As a result, fans will need to rely on alternative sources for score updates and match-related information. The return of Virat and Rohit to domestic cricket is considered crucial by selectors, making these matches even more significant.
