Top 3 players with most wickets in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26

The Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 concluded on a historic note, with the Harsh Dubey-led Vidarbha team lifting the title for the first time in the tournament’s history. The premier domestic 50-over competition once again proved to be a platform for emerging talent, as several young cricketers impressed with both bat and ball. 

Among them, a number of bowlers stood out with consistent wicket-taking performances, using pace, swing, and spin to dominate opposition line-ups. Today, CricTracker has a look at three such bowlers who took the most wickets in the recently concluded season of India's most elite competition in the one-day format.

Here are the top 3 wicket-takers from Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26

3. Zeeshan Ansari (Uttar Pradesh)

Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari finished as the third-highest wicket-taker, also with 21 wickets, but from eight matches. He was particularly economical, conceding runs at just 4.62 per over, while averaging 16.52. His best figures of 4/29 came against Chandigarh during the league stage match.

Ansari, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, picked up a couple of four-wicket hauls in the season and was especially effective in the middle overs, regularly breaking partnerships and restricting scoring. His spells often proved match-defining and played a crucial role in Uttar Pradesh’s campaign.
