The Vijay Hazare Trophy witnessed an extraordinary day as Bihar set a new List A record with a staggering 574/6, while Indian cricket superstars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli smashed remarkable centuries on their return to domestic action. This day has already been hailed as one of the most memorable in Indian domestic cricket history.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi Powers Bihar to Record 574
India’s 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, led Bihar to the highest team score in men’s List A cricket, amassing 574/6 against Arunachal Pradesh. His innings of 190 off 84 balls, including 16 fours and 15 sixes, established him as the youngest centurion in men’s List A history at just 14 years and 272 days. Suryavanshi reached his century in a mere 36 balls—the second-fastest by an Indian—and recorded the fastest 150 in List A cricket in just 59 deliveries.
Suryavanshi’s dominance in the powerplay laid the foundation for the record, making Arunachal Pradesh’s bowling appear ineffective. His fearless batting combined with excellent technique showcased his immense potential for the future of Indian cricket.
Sakibul Gani & Ayush Loharuka Complete Bihar Record
Captain Sakibul Gani scored an unbeaten 128 off 40 balls, registering the fastest-ever Indian List A century in just 32 deliveries, breaking Anmolpreet Singh’s previous record. Gani struck 12 sixes and 10 fours, driving Bihar past the 500-run mark with lethal efficiency.
Wicketkeeper-batter Ayush Loharuka supported the middle order with a powerful 116 off 56 balls, hitting 11 fours and 8 sixes. The combined efforts of these three players ensured Bihar achieved a historic 574/6, setting a new benchmark in professional one-day cricket worldwide.

Virat Kohli Achieves 16,000 List A Runs
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, making a comeback after nearly a decade since 2010-11, scored a century in 83 balls for Delhi against Andhra Pradesh. During this innings, Kohli achieved a major milestone of 16,000 List A runs, becoming only the second Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to reach this feat.
