The 2022–23 Vijay Hazare Trophy was the 30th edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, an annual List A cricket tournament in India.[1] It was played from 12 November to 2 December 2022.[2] Himachal Pradesh were the defending champions.[3] Saurashtra won the final match against Maharashtra by 5 wickets to clinch their second domestic title.[4]

A total of 38 teams featured in five Elite groups. The group toppers progressed to the quarterfinals, while the second-placed sides and the best among the rest advanced to the pre-quarterfinals. The tournament was played in six cities across the country which are Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Ranchi, with all the knockout matches played in Ahmedabad.[5]

On 21 November, Tamil Nadu's Narayan Jagadeesan set the highest-ever individual List A score with his 277 from 141 balls against Arunachal Pradesh, breaking the previous record of 268 by Ali Brown. Tamil Nadu's final score of 506/2 in that match was also a record for the highest-ever team total in a List A match, breaking England's 498/4 against the Netherlands set five months prior.[6]

On 28 November, Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 43 runs of the second-last over of Maharashtra's innings against Uttar Pradesh in the second quarter-finals match, to equal the record for the most runs scored in an over in a List A match and also became the first batter to hit seven sixes in an over in all forms of cricket.[7]
