VHT 2025/26: Kohli goes past another Tendulkar record on a run-filled day

The major stats highlights from a run-filled day at the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26.

Kohli, Rohit on the rise

9 - Virat Kohli became the ninth player to get to 16,000 List-A runs, and of the 113 cricketers to have aggregated at least 10,000 runs in the format, his average of 57.6 is only marginally second to that of Michael Bevan's (15103 runs at 57.86). AB de Villiers (11,123 runs at 53.47) and MS Dhoni (13,353 runs at 50.38) are the only others in this list with a 50-plus average.

330 - More significantly, Kohli got to the 16,000 run-mark in mere 330 outings, making him the fastest to the mark, well clear of Tendulkar who had got there in 391 innings.

Most runs in List-A cricket

58 List-A hundreds now for Kohli, who scored (131) in Delhi's comfortable win over Andhra in Bengaluru. Only Sachin Tendulkar has more (60), and the two stand well clear of the next best Graham Gooch, who got 44 in a List-A career spanning over 25 years (1973 - 1997).

Rohit Sharma too, got to triple figures, his 37th in List-A, and the two Indian stalwarts stand a genuine chance to climb further up in this list featuring former greats.

60 - Sachin Tendulkar

58 - Virat Kohli

44 - Graham Gooch

40 - Graeme Hick

39 - Kumar Sangakkara

9 - Rohit's 155 in an eight-wicket win over Sikkim in Jaipur was his ninth-score of 150-plus in List-A cricket, equalling David Warner at the top. Gordon Greenidge is the next on this list with six, followed by Tendulkar, Kohli, Chris Gayle, Fakhar Zaman, Travis Head, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Prithvi Shaw, all of whom have five each.

Suryavanshi, Gani power Bihar past mount 500

574/6 racked up by Bihar against Arunachal Pradesh at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi, the highest ever total in List-A cricket, surpassing the previous record of 506/2 against the same opponent in Bengaluru in 2022. England's 498/4 against the Netherlands earlier that year - the highest ever ODI total, ranks third on this list.

Highest scores in List-A cricket

14 years 272 days- Vaibhav Suryavanshi's age on the day he struck his maiden hundred in List-A cricket, making him the youngest to get there in the format. The previous record was held by Zahoor Elahi (15 years 209 days) for Pakistan Automobiles against Railways at Sahiwal, way back in 1986.

32 balls taken by Sakibul Gani to get to his hundred during Bihar's monumental innings, making it the third-fastest in all List-A cricket and the fastest by an Indian.

Ishan Kishan got there in 33 balls for Jharkhand against Karnataka in Ahmedabad not so long after to take the fourth spot. Earlier, Suryavanshi had got there in 36 balls, meaning that three of the four-fastest List A tons by an Indian were all compiled on the same day.

Fastest List-A hundreds

59 balls taken by Suryavanshi to get to 150, making him the fastest to get to that landmark in List-A cricket (where data available), bettering AB de Villiers' previous record of 64 balls against the West Indies in Sydney during the 2015 World Cup.

38 sixes hit by Bihar is now by far the most in a team-innings in List-A cricket; bettering the previous count of 28 by Canada against Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur in September 2019.

0/116 in nine overs by Arunachal Pradesh's Mibom Mosu are now the most expensive bowling returns ever in List-A cricket, going past Bas de Leede's 2/115 in 10 overs for Netherlands against Australia in Delhi during the 2023 World Cup.

397 runs - The victory margin for Bihar is now the second highest in all List-A cricket. Arunachal Pradesh occupy the first spot as well in this unwanted list; they were on the receiving end against Tamil Nadu in Bengaluru in 2022, going down by 435 runs.

Karnataka pull off the second-highest List-A run-chase

413 - Powered by Devdutt Padikkal's 118-ball 147, Karnataka gunned down the mammoth 413 run-target against Jharkhand in Ahmedabad, making it only the second successful 400-plus run chase in the history of List-A cricket, after South Africa's famous victory over Australia at the Wanderers in 2006.

Karnataka became the eighth team to rack up 400-plus while batting second in the format, in a list headed by South Africa's 438/9 in the aforementioned 2006 classic. Queensland had scored 402/3, chasing 399 against Tasmania at North Sydney Oval in 2014/15.

825 totalled by the two teams is the joint-highest ever in a List-A match in Asia, alongside as many between India and Sri Lanka at Rajkot in 2009. Overall, it's the joint seventh-highest match aggregate in all List-A cricket.

383 - Not long after Karnataka's feat, Bengal gunned down 383 against Vidarbha in Rajkot to complete the third-highest successful List-A chase in India.
