Bihar Batsmen Smash Records in Vijay Hazare Trophy Opener
New Delhi, December 24, 2024 – The opening day of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 will be etched in Indian domestic cricket history after a series of blistering batting performances saw records tumble at a rapid pace. Three players with Bihar connections, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sakibul Gani, and Ishan Kishan, stole the spotlight with record-breaking centuries.
The day’s action began with 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, opening the innings for Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh, blasting a century in just 36 balls. This feat briefly made him the second-fastest Indian to reach a List A century.
However, Suryavanshi’s record was short-lived. Bihar captain Sakibul Gani took to the crease and unleashed an even more ferocious assault on the Arunachal Pradesh bowling attack. Gani reached his century in a mere 32 balls, setting a new record for the fastest List A century by an Indian. He finished his explosive innings with an unbeaten 128 off just 40 balls, including 10 fours and 12 sixes.
Riding on Suryavanshi’s 190 off 84 balls (16 fours, 15 sixes), Ayush Lohuruka’s 116 off 56 balls and Gani’s exploits, Bihar amassed a staggering 574/6 in their 50 overs. This is now the highest team total in List A cricket, surpassing Tamil Nadu’s previous record of 506/2 set against the same opponent in 2022.
Meanwhile, in a separate match between Jharkhand and Karnataka, Ishan Kishan, captaining Jharkhand, joined the record-breaking party. Kishan smashed a century in just 33 balls, now the second-fastest List A century by an Indian. He ultimately scored 125 off 39 balls, studded with 7 fours and 14 sixes, propelling Jharkhand to 412/9.
The Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025 has started with a bang, leaving fans and cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipating more thrilling performances.
