Why isn’t the Duleep Trophy being live streamed? Fans are harshly criticizing the BCCI. They say, "The richest board can’t stream domestic cricket.”

Big star players of India are playing in Duleep Trophy 2025, from fast bowler Mohammad Shami to Arshdeep Singh, everyone is participating in this tournament. IPL star Rajat Patidar scored a century on the first day while unknown player Danish Malewar is close to a double century. Despite this, there is no live coverage of this tournament.

Fans are not getting the opportunity to see their favorite players in action. In such a situation, they are very angry. People are cursing BCCI fiercely. People say that today, while tennis ball tournaments are being telecasted live, on the other hand, the country's prestigious tournament is not being shown on television, where one player after another is proving his talent.

The net worth of the BCCI is approximately 18 thousand 760 crore Indian rupees. Despite this, the Indian Cricket governing body has not organized live-streaming coverage of the matches of 2025 Duleep Trophy. The tournament is considered to be on the same level as the Ranji Trophy and two quarter final matches are being played in the current season. 

In the first match, East Zone is locking horns with North Zone while in the second quarter final, North East Zone & Central Zone are taking on each other. After this, semi-final matches will be played. Both the semi-finals will be played on the 4th of September at the BCCI CEG Ground. The final will be played on the 11th of September.

Despite this, it will not be telecasted live. What to say? Nowadays even street cricket matches are being live streamed on social media. Many star players are participating in Duleep Trophy this time.'
