Vaibhav Suryavanshi: The start of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 has been a bang for Vaibhav Suryavanshi and his team Bihar. Bihar’s vice-captain Vaibhav Suryavanshi performed so well in the match against Arunachal Pradesh that he scored the biggest score of his List A career. He broke AB de Villiers’ record in List A by a margin of 10 balls in the match against Arunachal. The 14-year-old left-handed batsman also made his highest score in List A, breaking De Villiers’ record.
What is Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s highest score in List A?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi created an outcry in the match against Arunachal Pradesh by scoring 190 runs in just 84 balls. This inning of Vaibhav Suryavanshi, which played with a strike rate of more than 226, included 15 sixes and 16 sixes. This is Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s first century in Vijay Hazare Trophy or List A cricket. Apart from this, this is also the biggest score of his List A career. Earlier, his highest score in List A was 71 runs.
Broke a 10 year old record by playing 10 balls less
Vaibhav also broke AB de Villiers’ record during the same innings played against Arunachal. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has now become the fastest cricketer to score 150 in List A cricket. This record was earlier in the name of AB de Villiers. De Villiers had completed 150 runs in 64 balls in the match against West Indies in the 2015 Men’s ODI World Cup. But, after 10 years i.e. in the year 2025, Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored 150 runs against Arunachal Pradesh in just 54 balls. He played 10 balls less than AB de Villiers to break the record of scoring the fastest 150 runs in List A.
Sanju Samson’s record narrowly missed
Vaibhav Suryavanshi missed his double century against Arunachal Pradesh. His double century fell short by 10 runs and with that Sanju Samson’s record was also saved. The record of scoring the fastest double century in Vijay Hazare Trophy is in the name of Sanju Samson. He scored a double century in 125 balls against Goa in the year 2019. If Vaibhav Suryavanshi had not been out, he could have scored a faster double century than Samson in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
