An in-form Kumar Kartikeya, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, hard-hitters Nitish Rana, Shubham Dubey and the fast bowling duo of Sandeep Sharma and Yudhvir Singh are the six Rajasthan Royals players set to feature in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25.

To be held from December 21 to January 18, the Vijay Hazare Trophy is India’s premier domestic 50-over tournament. The List A competition will see 38 teams, split into five groups A to E, compete for the title.

Kumar Kartikeya helped Madhya Pradesh reach the final at the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024 and will look to repeat the performance for his team starting in Group E. The 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi will play for Bihar, also in Group E.

The rest of the Rajasthan Royals players will all compete for teams in Group D.

Nitish Rana will look to showcase his all-round abilities for Uttar Pradesh, who are in the same group with five-time champions Tamil Nadu. The group also features Chandigarh and Jammu and Kashmir, who will have the services of fast bowlers Sandeep Sharma and Yudhvir Singh, respectively. Shubham Dubey, who is making a name for himself with his finishing lower down the order, will represent Vidarbha.

Each team at the Vijay Hazare Trophy will play the other teams in its respective group in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockouts.
