Sakibul Gani reached his century in 32 balls, which is the fastest hundred in Vijay Hazare Trophy history and the fastest List A century by an Indian. It is also the third fastest List A century overall, behind Jake Fraser-McGurk’s 29-ball hundred and AB de Villiers’ 31-ball hundred. Bihar’s 574/6 now stands as the highest score ever recorded in List A cricket.
The innings was built on three major contributions. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, aged 14, scored 190 runs off 84 balls and provided the explosive start. Ayush Anand Loharuka followed with 106 off 56 balls to maintain a high scoring rate through the middle overs. Captain Gani finished the innings with 128 off just 40 balls.
Bihar also set a new world record for the highest team total in List A cricket by scoring 574 for 6 in 50 overs against Arunachal Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi. This surpassed the previous record of 506 for 2 made by Tamil Nadu against the same opposition in the 2022–23 season, making 574/6 the highest one-day total ever at the List A level.
