The Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 continues with its fifth round on January 3, 2026. Due to BCCI's limited broadcasting infrastructure, only two Elite Group matches will be live-streamed on JioHotstar and broadcast on Star Sports Khel. These include Karnataka vs. Tripura, featuring KL Rahul's domestic return, and Baroda vs. Vidarbha, with Hardik Pandya playing. The limited coverage stems from 38 teams competing simultaneously across select venues.
