Vijay Samuel Hazare (born March 11, 1915 in Sangli , Maharashtra , † December 18, 2004 in Vadodara , Gujarat ) was an Indian cricketer . He was the fifth captain of the Indian national team , and led India to their first test cricket victory in Madras during the 1951/52 tour against England . This was the only win at this level during his time as captain. The next victory of an Indian national team against one of the big teams came against the West Indies only 23 years later .
education
Hazare grew up in Sangli and graduated from the Presbyterian Mission Industrial School . His mother raised him in a very devout way, which led to the creation of the Catholic Gymkhana Cricket Team .
Career
In Indian first-class cricket , Hazare first played for the teams from Maharashtra , Central India and then moved to Baroda in 1941 . After the Second World War he was nominated for the first tour after the war in England in the 1946 season , where he made his national team debut in the first test of the series. His next national team assignment was on the tour in the 1947/48 season in Australia . In the fourth test of the tour in Adelaide he managed his first test century in the first innings with 116 runs , which he was able to improve in the second innings with 145 runs. Still, India lost the game by one innings. On the tour against the West Indies that took place a year later , he won two more Centuries. He was then named captain of the national team and completed the tour against England in 1951/52 as such. In the first two tests, he achieved another two Centuries with 164 runs not out in Delhi and 155 runs in Bombay . India's first test victory came in the fifth test of the series, so the tour ended in a draw. During the tour in England the following summer he and his team suffered a 3–0 defeat and was initially deposed as captain and replaced by Lala Amarnath . When he managed another century against Pakistan with 146 not out, he was reappointed captain for the next tour in the West Indies . It was to be his last international match, as he focused on first-class cricket from then on. In tests he achieved a batting average of 47.65 per match, and a total of 2,192 runs. In 1960 he was awarded the Padma Shri .
After his active time
After his career, he worked briefly as a selector for the Indian team. The most important List A competition in India to date was also named the Vijay Hazare Trophy in his honor . Hazare died of cancer in 2004 .
