Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Three sixes from Hardik Pandya in an over!

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Signal of intent from Hardik Pandya, who launches, and launches hard! Three sixes in one over to get going. T20 World Cup soon – Indian fans will be liking the look of this! Races to 22* off 10.

Jan 8, 2026, 10:38:40 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Hardik Pandya comes to the crease for Baroda

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Baroda lose their fourth wicket, Krunal Pandya departs after 20. The brother comes in, Hardik having lit up this tournament a few days ago already. Looking for more of the same – Baroda needs him to come through clutch, and that has always been his superpower.

Jan 8, 2026, 10:37:12 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Wickets number 5 and 6 tumble for Haryana!

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Delhi in cruise control now! The pacers running riot. Prince Yadav and Navdeep Saini add a couple each, and it's suddenly 55/6.

Haryana, SMAT runners-up, in deep trouble with Saurashtra in control in their match. Delhi running away with it – can Haryana fight back?

Jan 8, 2026, 10:27:27 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: 100 run partnership for opening wicket for Saurashtra, and growing

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Saurashtra establish total control against Gujarat with both Harvik Desai and V Jadeja reaching their half-centuries, and taking control of that match.

Remember, if they win, Haryana will be out if they lose. And Haryana are slowly recovering, but from a pretty poor position against Delhi at the moment.

Jan 8, 2026, 10:24:25 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Rare quiet outing for Padikkal, dismissed on 35

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Padikkal does reach that golden number to re-take top spot but can't do much more; rare failure for him today as he can only score 35 before he is dismissed. Important wicket for MP in that one.

Kerala also snap TN's 86-run opening stand in Group A.

Jan 8, 2026, 10:08:55 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Vishnu Solanki reaches fifty for Baroda, reconstructs innings

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Baroda respond well after a couple of early jolts in Group B. Vishnu Solanki, in at 4, counters with some fluent cricket to bring up fifty, pushing this partnership and regaining momentum against Chandigarh.

Atharva Taide and Dhruv Shorey slow and steady for Vidarbha after Mokhade's early wicket, but Bengal struggling at 81/3 just a touch.

Jan 8, 2026, 10:03:52 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: No success for Abhishek Sharma against Mumbai; Punjab 3 down in powerplay

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: In a grudge match in Group C to decide who finishes top of the group, Mumbai have the early success. Prabhsimran Singh dismissed early, and Abhishek Sharma followed soon after, with Shreyas Iyer taking the catch. A third wicket fell, leaving Anmolpreet Singh and Naman Dhir to reconstruct – which they have done well so far. Half an eye out on that one.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:54:37 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Devdutt Padikkal needs 34 runs to take over lead scorer table; currently on 22*

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: In Karnataka vs MP, Devdutt Padikkal and Mayank Agarwal off to a typically strong start. They have been the team to beat this tournament, and Padikkal will want to pile on the runs in a historic season for his team. Thanks to Mokhade's failure, he only needs to reach 34 to take back top spot at the end of the group stages, and he's working his way there watchfully.

MP still in with a chance, remember, but need a big win against a very good team. Karnataka currently 52/0 after 10, with Padikkal on 22*.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:51:19 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Haryana 4 down! Ishant Sharma takes his 3rd

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Delhi continue to find early success, Haryana rocked back to 19/4 inside 7 overs. Rishabh Pant and his team making a good fist of it early on.

It's good news also for Saurashtra, who need Haryana to lose: they themselves have reached 58/0 in the first 10 overs against Gujarat. They will be focusing on their own match, getting a must-win result there.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:40:26 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Bengal lose Easwaran, in trouble

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: 37/2 for Bengal. Abhimanyu Easwaran had rocketed off to a fast start but the team are pegged back against UP.

All three teams hoping to qualify in Group B are batting first, and none of them too comfortable at the moment. Top order needs to settle in and look for partnerships across the board.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:27:07 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Ishant Sharma takes his second! Haryana 3 down

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Delhi in control now as Ishant Sharma strikes again! Haryana flailing, down to 13/3 and in desperate need of a partnership.

In the same group, Saurashtra steady to start, 25/0 after 5 overs against Gujarat in Alur.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:24:48 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Top-scorer Mokhade dismissed on 3; Vidarbha and Baroda rocked early

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Trouble for Vidarbha in Rajkot! Aman Mokhade has enjoyed a monster season including two consecutive daddy hundreds leading in, but he has been dislodged early in the piece in this must-win encounter. Vidarbha down a wicket early.

In the same group, Abhimany Easwaran off to a rocket start for Bengal against UP, but loses his opening partner Karan Lal. Mohammed Shami in action later there.

In the last focus match of the group, Baroda also down two wickets early on against Chandigarh, but their strangth lies in their power-hitting lower order, with Hardik and Krunal in the tank.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:21:35 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Jharkhand on the board with two wickets vs Tripura

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: No Ishan Kishan for the SMAT champions, but they will back themselves to get the job done against Tripura. Two wickets early on there at the Gujarat College Ground for Jharkhand, on top early.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:15:39 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Goa take 3 Maharashtra wickets in first 8 balls; Arjun Tendulkar dismisses Prithvi Shaw

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: This match isn't really relevant to qualification but interesting things happening there too. Maharashtra have been prone to imploding in calamitous style at the top, did so in the Ranji Trophy earlier this season as well. It's happened again, as they go down to 3 wickets for just 2 runs inside the first 8 balls. Arjun Tendulkar on the board early with Prithvi Shaw's wicket. Ruturaj Gaikwad comes in and needs to play a rescue act.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:13:52 IST

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Delhi take two early wickets vs Haryana!

Vijay Hazare Trophy LIVE Updates: Delhi opt to bowl first against neighbours Haryana, and they have early success with two wickets in the first seven balls! Ishant Sharma and Navdeep Saini get on the board and put them in early control.

Delhi have a decent chance of qualifying even if they lose thanks to their healthy net run-rate, but they won't want to leave it to chance. Rishabh Pant's team off to a good start. 5/2 in no time.

Jan 8, 2026, 09:08:29 IST
