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.

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.

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.

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.
