Vaibhav Suryavanshi broke multiple records en route his 190 off 84 balls as Bihar set a new team ‘world record’ for the highest total in a single List A match, with 574/6.
India’s 14-year-old batting prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, smashed a stunning 190 off 84 balls as Bihar broke the ‘world record’ for the highest team total in a single List A match. Bihar, up against Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday, went past Tamil Nadu’s total of 506/2, registered against Arunachal in 2022, to claim the No. 1 spot in the list with a ‘world record’ innings score of 574/6. While Suryavanshi laid the foundation for the ‘world record’ total, the likes of Piyush Kumar Singh (77), Ayush Loharuka (116), and Sakibul Gani (128) played important roles in helping the team reach the target.
It was Suryavanshi who led the powerplay charge for Bihar, displaying fearless aggression that made him look virtually unstoppable. Suryavanshi reached his century in just 36 balls, the second-fastest by an Indian. By the time he was dismissed for a breathtaking 190 off 84 balls (including 15 sixes), Bihar had already crossed 260 runs in just 27 overs.
En route his 190, Suryavanshi had broken multiple world records, becoming the youngest to score a century in List A cricket while also breaking AB de Villiers’ record of scoring the fastest 150 in the format.
After the departure of the Rajasthan Royals batter, the onus of continuing the momentum fellon the shoulders of wicket-keeper batter Ayush Loharuka, who accelerated astonishingly after reaching his fifty in 35 balls. He was eventually dismissed for 116 off 56 balls.
Every bowler Arunachal Pradesh turned to was met with the same fate: the ball disappearing in the stands or being pierced through the covers.
