Vijay Hazare Trophy

The Hyderabad team, led by Arjun Yadav, began their campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a List-A cricket tournament in India, with a win against the Kerala at Visakhapatnam on 15 February 2009.[3][17][23] Robert Fernandez's 83 supported by half-century from Sreekumar Nair helped the Kerala post a competitive total of 247 though they lost five wickets in last ten overs but injury to S. Sreesanth and the half-centuries from Dwaraka Ravi Teja, Anoop Pai and Syed Quadri helped the Hyderabad chase the target with four wickets to spare.[23] In the second match, steady opening partnership between Robin Uthappa and C. M. Gautam and the half-centuries from Manish Pandey and Deepak Chougule helped the Karnataka survive the late collapse off Shoaib Ahmed and post 269 in 50 overs.[24] The Hyderabad started the chase strongly with Tirumalasetti Suman scoring 93 off 86 balls but the seven-wickets between Sunil Joshi and K. P. Appanna in the middle helped the Karnataka defeat the Hyderabad by 50 runs.[24] The Hyderabad suffered second loss in three matches as the centuries from Subramaniam Badrinath and Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan helped the Tamil Nadu post 342 in 50 overs and the early collapse from the Hyderabad top-order led to a 92-run defeat as Shoaib Ahmed's second five-wicket haul in last two matches went in vain.[25] The Hyderabad won their second match in this tournament as the collective batting effort from the batsmen with the half-century form Ravi Teja helped the Hyderabad post 261 in 50 overs while the three-wicket hauls from Shoaib Ahmed and Mungala Arjun restricted Goa to 155 and ensure a 105-run win for the Hyderabad.[26] In the final zonal match, the Andhra were troubled by Shoaib Ahmed as his seven-wicket haul helped the Hyderabad bowl out the Andhra for 130 while an unbeaten half-century from Ravi Teja ensured a six-wicket win for the Hyderabad.[27] This win helped the Hyderabad finish inside top-2 in the South Zone to advance to the knockout stage with three wins and two losses.[27][28] They were eliminated in the quarter-final where lost to the Baroda by seven wickets.[29] The Hyderabad were bowled out for 167 with the help of four-wicket haul from Ikram Zampawala and the three-wicket haul from Swapnil Singh while the half-centuries from Shailesh Solanki, Azhar Bilakhia and Rakesh Solanki helped the Baroda chase the target in 31 overs.[29]
