The Vijay Hazare Trophy, (officially known as the IDFC First Bank Vijay Hazare Trophy for sponsorship reasons), originally known as the Ranji One-Day Trophy, is an annual limited overs cricket domestic competition organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It involves the state and union territory teams which take part in the Ranji Trophy. The tournament began in the 1993–94 season but was played at zonal level only until 2002–03 when it was expanded to become a national competition. In 2007, it was renamed in honour of Vijay Hazare, who had died in December 2004. The most successful team since expansion is Tamil Nadu who have won the trophy five times.

History

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, the teams were divided into three elite groups and one plate group. Two of the elite groups had nine teams while the third had ten. The plate group consisted of nine new teams. Teams were grouped on the basis of average points gained in the preceding three seasons.

The 2020–21 edition was postponed for several months because of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The 2020–21 Ranji Trophy had been cancelled but, in January 2021, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the Vijay Hazare tournament would take place.[1][2]

Currently, in the 2023–24 season, 38 teams are split into five groups (A to E) as follows:

GroupTeams
AKerala, Mumbai, Odisha, Pondicherry, Railways, Saurashtra, Sikkim, Tripura
BChhattisgarh, Hyderabad, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Services, Vidarbha
CBihar, Chandigarh, Delhi, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Mizoram, Uttarakhand
DAndhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh
EBaroda, Bengal, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Punjab, Tamil Nadu

After playing each team in the group once, the five winners and the best performing runner-up qualify for the quarter final stage directly, while the four other runners-up play in the preliminary quarter finals. The two winners of pre-quarter finals join the remaining six teams in the quarter final stage. In the 2015–16 to 2017–18 seasons, the zonal groups were replaced with four groups of seven each.

Zonal tournaments

From the tournament's inaugural edition during the 1993–94 season through to the 2001–02 season, no finals were held, and teams consequently played only within their zones, with no overall winner named.
