As Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 moves into its fifth round on January 3, 2026, cricket fans across India are eager to catch their favorite stars in action.

Despite the presence of international heavyweights like KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, and Arshdeep Singh, BCCI's limited broadcasting infrastructure means that only a handful of matches are available for live viewing.
