The answer is yes. While the group stage left many supporters frustrated with limited coverage, with only two matches per round from Ahmedabad and Rajkot televised, the BCCI will now stream all knockout matches, including the four quarter-finals, two semi-finals and the final on January 18.

We already have two semi-finalists, as Karnataka and Saurashtra ended up winning their respective quarter-finals against Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh yesterday. Devdutt Padikkal continued his tremendous run with the bat. Meanwhile, Harvik Desai played a captain’s knock to knock out UP.
Today, Delhi take on Vidarbha. However, they will be without Rishabh Pant and Ayush Badoni, the original captain and vice-captain of the side. Pant was obviously set to miss due to international commitments (and has got injured as well). As for Badoni, it came as a blessing, as he has received his maiden India call-up to replace Washington Sundar in India’s ODI team against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma will captain Punjab in their star-studded affair against Madhya Pradesh, a side that has both Rajat Patidar and Venkatesh Iyer.
