Cricket fans expressed disappointment as matches featuring star players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Vijay Hazare Trophy were not live-streamed. Ravichandran Ashwin defended the BCCI and broadcasters, explaining that decisions on which domestic matches are televised are made in advance. He noted that the last-minute confirmation of Sharma and Kohli's participation made it difficult to arrange live coverage on short notice, despite their impressive performances.
