In a truly remarkable display of batting prowess, Bihar has established a new world record for the highest team total in List A cricket history. During the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate 2025-26 fixture against Arunachal Pradesh in Ranchi, Bihar amassed an incredible 574 runs for the loss of only six wickets in their 50-over quota. This extraordinary score pulverizes the previous record, cementing Bihar’s place in cricketing annals. The JSCA Oval Ground was witness to an exceptional batting exhibition, spearheaded by Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s magnificent 190 runs from just 84 balls. Suryavanshi’s explosive innings, which featured 16 fours and 15 sixes, set an aggressive tone from the start. Following his departure, Ayush Loharuka continued the scoring spree with a quickfire 116 from 56 deliveries. The innings culminated in a breathtaking unbeaten 128 from captain Sakibul Gani, who needed only 40 balls to reach the milestone, striking at an astonishing rate of 320. The incredible scoring rate of 11.48 per over meant that Arunachal Pradesh bowlers were under constant duress throughout the innings. This landmark achievement by Bihar not only surpasses existing records but also showcases the extreme potential for high scores in modern one-day cricket. The sheer dominance exhibited by the batting lineup marks this innings as one of the most significant in the history of the List A format.
