Tamil Nadu defeated Arunachal Pradesh by 435 runs, making it the biggest victory margin in any List A match
Tamil Nadu batter Narayan Jagadeesan on Monday shattered the world record for the highest ever individual score in men's List A cricket by hammering a 141-ball 277 against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy here.
Tamil Nadu won the Group C match by 435 runs, making it the biggest victory margin in a List A match. The previous record was Somerset's 346-run win over Devon in 1990.
The 26-year-old Jagadeesan bettered the record of Alistair Brown's previous high of 268 for Surrey against Glamorgan in 2002. The Indian record for highest List A score of 264 by Rohit Sharma in an ODI against Sri Lanka was also obliterated in the process.
Tamil Nadu's 506 for two in the match is also the highest team total in men's List A cricket, bettering the previous best of 498 for four by England against the Netherlands earlier this year.
The previous highest List A total in India was 457 for four by Mumbai against Puducherry in Jaipur in 2021.
Veteran India cricketer and Jagadeesan's TN teammate Dinesh Karthik congratulated him and said in a tweet: "WORLD RECORD alert. What an amazing effort by @Jagadeesan_200 Couldn't be happier for him. Big things await. Sai Sudarshan what an amazing tournament so far. This opening combo is killing it. Well done boys."
Hinting at the gulf in standards, he said in another tweet: "Also on another side note Does it make sense to have the north east teams play the elite teams in the league phase. It just topples the run rates of teams and imagine if a match against one of these teams gets rained off! Can't they have a separate group and then qualify?"
