Concept edit

Originally called the Ranji One Day Trophy because it was open to teams participating in the Ranji Trophy, it was renamed Vijay Hazare Trophy in 2007.[2] Until 2002, the competition was organised on a zonal basis without national playoffs or a final, so the aim of each team was to win its zonal championship only.[3][4]

Tournament edit

All 27 teams from the Ranji Trophy competed and were divided into the five zones used for the Duleep Trophy: Central (5 teams), East (5), North (6), South (6), and West (5). The format within each zone was round-robin with the teams playing all of their zonal opponents once. Four points were awarded for a win and run rate was utilised as a tie-breaker within each league.[5]

The teams played a total of 60 matches from 30 November 1993 to 12 January 1994.[1] Haryana won the North Zone title with a 100% record and were the only team to win five matches. Bengal (East Zone) and Uttar Pradesh (Central Zone) also had 100% records but from four matches each. South Zone was closely contested and ended in a three-way tie between Karnataka, Hyderabad, and Tamil Nadu. Karnataka won the zone on run rate. West Zone also ended in a tie and Bombay took the title on run rate ahead of Saurashtra.[5]

The leading batsman in 1993–94 was Rahul Dravid who scored 283 runs, six more than Sanjay Manjrekar and Manoj Mudgal (277 each). A total of fifteen centuries were scored and the highest innings was 139* by Manjrekar.[6] Dhanraj Singh took fourteen wickets, five more than anyone else, and also achieved the best innings return with 6/19.[7]
