[City, Date] – Cricket fans were left disappointed after being unable to witness Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s triumphant returns to the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Both star batsmen blasted centuries in their respective opening round matches on Wednesday, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) opted not to broadcast or live stream their games.

Rohit Sharma, playing his first Vijay Hazare Trophy match in seven years, hammered a blistering 155 off just 94 balls against Sikkim in Jaipur. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, returning to the tournament after 15 years, struck 131 off 101 balls against Andhra Pradesh at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
