December 24 was a bittersweet experience for Indian cricket fans. After waiting for many years, veteran players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma made a comeback in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and showed their batting prowess. The performance of both made the fans happy. But fans remained disappointed as both these matches were not telecast on TV. In this too, Virat Kohli's fans were more disappointed because they were not allowed to watch the match even sitting in the stadium. In such a situation, these fans tried different tricks and some of them even climbed trees and started watching the match from hundreds of feet away.

Delhi faced Andhra Pradesh in the first round match of Vijay Hazare Trophy which started from Wednesday. In this match, Virat entered the field on behalf of his team Delhi. This was the first time in about 15 years that Kohli was playing in this tournament. In such a situation, there was a lot of curiosity among his fans about this match. This match was played at BCCI's Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru, where Virat Kohli Scored a brilliant century. But despite this the fans could not see his miracle.

What kind of arrangements do fans make for Kohli?

Firstly, this match was not telecast live on TV or any streaming platform. If this was not enough, the entry of fans to watch this match was also banned. Due to this, thousands of fans were deprived of watching Kohli's batting. But still there were some militant spectators, who made different kinds of arrangements. As soon as the fans came to know that Virat was batting, some of them climbed the trees outside the CoE and started watching Virat Kohli's batting from there.

There were some who started watching the match from the balcony of their office near the CoE. Although the ground was quite far from there, still the fans got a glimpse of Kohli and they could not hide their happiness.

Will fans have to take such steps again?

In this match, Kohli played an excellent inning of 131 runs in 101 balls and played a big role in the team's victory. His innings made the fans excited and restless. Kohli will play at least one more match in this tournament and that match is also to be played in CoE only. In such a situation, their fans will not get a chance to sit in the stadium again and watch that match. In such a situation, they may have to make similar arrangements again.
