Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan, Sarfaraz Khan and Rinku Singh are some of the stars that are in action at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur. In total, 11 of the 22 players in the India B vs C match who will take the field at one time or another have represented the Indian cricket team. Despite this, you can’t watch the match anywhere.
No live coverage or DRS
The first round of matches were played in Bengaluru and Anantapur and were both available to watch online and on television. Two matches are being played now as well. Right now, just one of them is being covered. The India A vs D match is available to watch on JioCinema, but fans can’t catch the live telecast. However, the India B vs C match can’t be viewed at all.
This is extremely frustrating, especially for Ishan Kishan fans. The wicketkeeper batter played the Buchi Babu tournament following his BCCI central contract axing. But that tournament wasn’t telecasted. It was only a live stream on the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association’s YouTube channel. On his comeback trail, many wanted to catch a glimpse, but there was nowhere to watch. Similarly, India C captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured on the second ball of the match but fans don’t know what happened exactly.
Cameras are pivotal in the workings of the DRS (Decision Review System), and since there isn’t any live coverage, it isn’t a shock that there is no DRS for the India C vs B match. The Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur isn’t technologically equipped, unlike the other Anantapur stadium where India A and D are playing.
