Karnataka’s Unstoppable Form in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25
Mayank Agarwal led his team perfectly through this entire tournament honestly. R. Smaran came through with a huge century when it mattered most. Six wins from seven group games showed Karnataka meant business from day one.
They knocked out Baroda and Haryana before the final in 2025 easily. Here’s the crazy part – Karnataka’s won every single final they’ve reached lately. The VHT winners list has their names from 2013-14, 2014-15, 2017-18, and 2019-20.
Last Year’s Standout Stars
Karun Nair smashed 779 runs last year topping everyone on the list. Punjab’s Arshdeep Singh ripped through teams with 20 wickets total taken. Fun fact – this tournament used to be called Ranji One Day Trophy and got renamed as Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2007.
