Ranchi witnessed a historic cricketing spectacle as Bihar compiled the highest-ever team total in List A history during the Vijay Hazare Trophy Plate 2025-26. The team posted an astonishing 574/6 in their 50-over encounter against Arunachal Pradesh, shattering the previous record with a dominant batting performance. This feat signifies a monumental achievement for Bihar cricket and sets a new benchmark for aggressive batting in the format. The foundation for this record was laid by an explosive century from Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who smashed 190 runs off just 84 balls, a breathtaking display of power-hitting that included 16 fours and 15 sixes. His innings ignited the scoring, and the momentum was carried forward by Ayush Loharuka, who contributed a rapid 116 from 56 deliveries. The innings reached its peak with captain Sakibul Gani’s unbeaten 128, which came off a mere 40 balls at a phenomenal strike rate of 320.00. Gani’s aggressive finish, featuring 10 fours and 12 sixes, ensured Bihar crossed the unprecedented total. The sheer volume of runs scored, averaging 11.48 per over, overwhelmed the Arunachal Pradesh bowlers who struggled to contain the relentless assault. This historic innings, surpassing the previous record of 506, highlights the evolving nature of aggressive batting in one-day cricket and marks a significant milestone for Bihar on the national cricketing stage. It’s a performance that will undoubtedly be talked about for years to come.
