Bihar Cricket Team Makes History with New World Record Total
In a truly astounding display of batting power, the Bihar cricket team has rewritten the record books in List A cricket. During a recent Vijay Hazare Trophy match held in Ranchi, Bihar achieved the biggest team score ever seen in this format, piling up an incredible 574 runs for 6 wickets against Arunachal Pradesh.
Captain Sakibul Gani Hits Fastest Indian List A Century
Leading from the front, Bihar's captain, Sakibul Gani, delivered an unforgettable performance. He smashed the fastest List A century by an Indian player, reaching his hundred in just 32 balls. Gani remained unbeaten with a blistering 128 runs from only 40 deliveries, adding a powerful finish to Bihar's record-breaking innings. This incredible feat surpassed the previous Indian record held by Anmolpreet Singh.
Teenage Sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi Becomes Youngest Centurion
The record-breaking effort also saw a remarkable contribution from 14-year-old prodigy, Vaibhav Suryavanshi. He became the youngest ever centurion in List A history, scoring a magnificent 190 runs off just 84 balls. Suryavanshi's explosive innings included 15 sixes and 16 fours, and he reached his century in a rapid 36 balls, making it the third-fastest List A hundred by an Indian. His achievement at 14 years and 272 days old breaks a long-standing record.
Other Key Contributions to Bihar's Record Score
The run-fest didn't stop with Gani and Suryavanshi. Ayush Loharuka also played a crucial role, scoring a century with 116 runs from 56 balls. This ensured Bihar kept up their high scoring rate after choosing to bat first. The bowlers from Arunachal Pradesh struggled throughout the 50 overs, unable to stop the flow of boundaries as Bihar's batsmen dominated the game.
