Overview
- Rohit Sharma was out for a golden duck against Uttarakhand in Jaipur, prompting many fans to leave after turning up in large numbers.
- Virat Kohli followed his opening‑round century with 77 off 61 balls for Delhi against Gujarat at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
- Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 190 off 84 in Bihar’s 574/6 remains the standout early feat, and his coach says he will skip the remainder of the tournament to attend a national award ceremony and link up with India U19.
- Former selector Devang Gandhi urged the BCCI to secure high‑standard first‑class exposure for Suryavanshi, while Kris Srikkanth called for rapid elevation to the senior side.
- Broadcast access stayed limited to select venues in Ahmedabad and Rajkot, leaving marquee fixtures such as Rohit’s and Kohli’s matches without live telecast or streaming.
