The ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy has sparked a lot of frustration among cricket fans across India. Despite being one of the country’s premier domestic one day tournaments, there is still no clear announcement about live streaming on OTT platforms. JioHotstar, which holds major domestic cricket rights, has not confirmed whether the matches will be streamed, leaving fans confused and disappointed.
The disappointment is sharper this season because some of the biggest names in Indian cricket are taking part. Virat Kohli has returned to domestic cricket for Delhi, while Rohit Sharma is playing for Mumbai. Their presence has drawn massive attention to the tournament, with fans eager to watch them play outside the international spotlight.
Social media is flooded with requests and appeals asking JioHotstar to stream the matches. Many fans have pointed out that it feels unfair for a tournament featuring such star players to remain inaccessible to a wider audience. While some matches are being played, viewers are forced to rely on score updates and short clips instead of full live coverage.
Domestic cricket has always been the backbone of Indian cricket, and moments like these highlight the gap between interest and accessibility. With so many eyes on the Vijay Hazare Trophy this year, fans hope the streaming platform responds soon and brings the matches to their screens before the tournament loses its momentum.
