Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 is all set to commence on November 12. The 50-over tournament will be the second limited-overs competition of the 2022-23 Indian domestic season in the men’s senior category after the recently-concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Now in its 21st edition, the tournament will feature 38 teams divided into three groups of eight teams each and two groups consisting of seven teams each. Defending champions Himachal Pradesh are slotted in Group A along with 2015-16 winners Gujarat and 2007-08 winners Saurashtra.
The table-toppers from each group will directly qualify for the quarter-finals. Six teams, comprising five runners-up of the groups and the best-performing team from the remaining ones, will head to the pre-quarter-finals.
The three winners from the pre-quarter-finals will move into the quarters.
All the group-phase fixtures will be played across five cities in India, namely Mumbai, Bengaluru, New Delhi, Ranchi and Kolkata. The knockout matches, which will get underway on November 26, will be held in Ahmedabad.
Last season saw Himachal Pradesh emerge as champions for the first time in their history, defeating five-time winners Tamil Nadu by 11 runs in a rain-curtailed encounter.
Moreover, Maharashtra’s Ruturaj Gaikwad finished as the leading run-scorer with 603 runs in five matches at a staggering average of 150.75, including four centuries. The spectacular performance saw him debut for India’s T20I and ODI sides earlier this year.
The wicket-takers chart was headed by Vidarbha's Yash Thakur, who took 18 wickets in seven matches at an economy of 5.72.
