'''Vijay Samuel Hazare''' {{audio|Vijay_Hazare.ogg|pronunciation}} (11 March 1915 – 18 December 2004) was an Indian [[cricket]]er. He [[Indian national cricket captains|captained]] [[Indian cricket team|India]] in 14 matches between 1951 and 1953. In India's 25th Test match, nearly 20 years after India achieved Test status, he led India to its first ever [[Test cricket]] win (and the only victory under his captaincy) in 1951–52 against [[England cricket team|England]] at [[Chennai|Madras]], winning by an innings and eight runs in a match that began on the day that [[George VI of the United Kingdom|King George VI]] died.

==Early life==
Hazare was born in [[Sangli]], in the then [[Bombay Presidency]] of [[British Raj|British India]] in 1915, one of eight children of a school teacher.

Primarily a right-hand [[batsman]], Hazare was also a right-hand medium-pace [[Bowler (cricket)|bowler]]. A "shy, retiring" man (according to ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' in 1952), it was widely thought that he was not a natural captain and that his batting suffered as a result. His rival, [[Vijay Merchant]] said that the captaincy prevented Hazare from becoming India's finest batsman: "It was one of the tragedies of cricket."

Even so, Hazare's Test record is very respectable: he amassed 2,192 runs in 30 Test matches with a [[batting average (cricket)|batting average]] of 47.65. His first-class record is even more impressive, with a [[batting average (cricket)|batting average]] of 58.38 for his 18,740 runs (highest first-class aggregate for an Indian player after [[Sunil Gavaskar]], [[Sachin Tendulkar]] and [[Rahul Dravid]]). He scored 60 first-class centuries (including 7 in Tests), the fourth highest for an Indian player and 10 first-class double centuries (including six during [[World War II]], when India was the only Test cricket-playing country to continue holding its domestic first-class cricket competition without interruption).

His bowling record was more modest, and he took 595 first-class [[wicket]]s (including 20 in Tests, and [[Donald Bradman]]'s wicket three times) at a [[bowling average]] of 24.61. On the Indian domestic circuit, Hazare played for the [[Maharashtra cricket team|Maharashtra]], [[Madhya Pradesh cricket team|Central India]] and [[Baroda cricket team|Baroda]] teams.

Some of his notable achievements include:
*First Indian batsman to score a triple century in first-class cricket (considering [[KS Duleepsinhji]] as an English cricketer)
*First Indian to score two triple centuries:
**the first, his highest score, was 316 not out for Maharashtra against Poona in 1939–40
**the second was 309 out of 387 for [[The Rest cricket team|The Rest]] against [[Hindus cricket team|The Hindus]] at [[Bombay]] in 1943–44. Despite his innings, The Rest lost the match by an innings. It included a partnership of 300 with his brother, [[Vivek Hazare]]. Vijay scored 266 (88.6% of the partnership) of the 300 runs while Vivek contributed 21. Hazare scored 79.84% of his team's score, then a world record, and it is the second highest individual score in a losing cause. The Rest's total is the smallest completed innings to contain a triple century.
*First Indian to score a century in each [[innings]] of a Test match (116 and 145 on successive days against [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] in [[Adelaide]] in 1947–48, which was the same team that became known as ''[[The Invincibles (cricket)|The Invincibles]]'')

*First Indian player to make fifty centuries in his first class career
*Highest partnership for any [[wicket]] in [[first-class cricket]] (577 [[Run (cricket)|run]]s with [[Gul Mahomed]] for Baroda against Holkar in the final of the [[Ranji Trophy]] at Baroda in 1947. This record stood for many years, and was only broken in 2006 by [[Kumar Sangakkara]] and [[Mahela Jayawardene]] who put on 624 for [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] against [[South African cricket team|South Africa]].
*First Indian player to complete 1000 Test Runs
[[File:Vijay Hazare graph.png|left|thumb|350px|Vijay Hazare's career performance graph.]]

In retirement, he was for a short while an Indian Test cricket selector. He has been honoured with a trophy in his name, the [[Vijay Hazare Trophy]], a zonal-cricket tournament in India. He died in December 2004 following prolonged illness caused by [[intestines|intestinal]] [[cancer]].

He and [[Jasu Patel]] were the first cricketers to be honoured with the [[Padma Shri]].
