574 for 6 - Bihar's total against Arunachal Pradesh is now the highest in men's List A cricket. The only other 500-plus total in the format was also conceded by Arunachal Pradesh, when Tamil Nadu made 506 for 2 against them in the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Bihar's total is also the second highest in all List A cricket, only behind Kandyan Ladies Cricket Club's 632 for 4 against Pushpadana Ladies in the women's domestic one-day tournament in Sri Lanka 2007.
As many as five 500-plus totals have been recorded in women's List A cricket, including two conceded by both Kei Women and Pushpadana Ladies.
59 - Number of balls Vaibhav Suryavanshi took to complete his 150. It is the fastest recorded 150 in men's List A cricket, bettering the mark of AB de Villiers, who took 64 balls against West Indies in the 2015 World Cup.
32 - Balls that Sakibul Gani took to bring up his hundred in the same match, the fastest by an Indian in men's List A cricket. The previous quickest was off 35 balls by Anmolpreet Singh, also against Arunachal in 2024.
Gani's century is also the third-fastest recorded men's List A hundred, behind Jake Fraser-McGurk's 29-ball effort (vs Tasmania in 2023) and the 31-ball century by de Villiers (vs West Indies in 2015).
However, Ishan Kishan went past Suryavanshi not long after and is now ranked second-fastest among Indians, having scored a 33-ball century against Karnataka. Suryavanshi's 36-ball hundred, which was the second-fastest on that table when he got there, has gone down to fourth.
38 - Total sixes hit by Bihar in their innings, by far the most in a men's List A innings. They broke the record held by Canada - 28 against Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur in 2019.
Suryavanshi (15) and Gani (12) contributed 27 of them, the first instance of two batters hitting ten or more sixes in a men's List A innings.
1 - Bihar became the first team to record three century-makers in an innings in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, with Ayush Loharuka scoring 116 alongside Suryavanshi (190) and Gani (124*).
Loharuka's hundred came in only 52 balls, but was still the slowest for Bihar on Wednesday. There was only one other instance of two batters scoring hundreds in 50 or fewer balls in a List A innings - Corey Anderson (36) and Jesse Ryder (46) against West Indies in Queenstown in 2014.
Only once before have there been three individual centuries in an innings in a men's domestic List A match in India, by Sachin Tendulkar (121), Gagan Khoda (121*) and Sanjay Manjrekar (103) for Wills XI against Hyderabad in 1995.
14y 272d - Suryavanshi's age on Wednesday, making him the youngest to score a hundred in men's List A cricket. The previous youngest was Zahoor Elahi, who was 15 years and 209 days old when he scored 103* in only his second List A game, against Railways in 1986.
Suryavanshi now has four hundreds at the senior level, including three hundreds in T20 cricket. No other man has even scored hundreds in both List A and T20 cricket before turning 15. Only Afghanistan's Mohammad Asif (two in 2017-18) has had multiple hundreds in first-class cricket before his 15th birthday.
116 - Runs conceded by Arunachal Pradesh's Mibom Mosu in his nine overs, the most by a bowler in a men's List A game. The previous highest was 115 by Netherlands' Bas de Leede against Australia in a 2023 World Cup game in Delhi.
Two other Arunachal Pradesh bowlers came close to conceding 100 - Suryansh Singh (99) and TNR Mohit (98), who also bowled nine overs each.
Only once before have three bowlers given away 90-plus runs in a men's List A innings - Wiltshire's Mark Watts (97), Paul Meehan (97) and Richard Cooper (94) against Essex in 1988; but they bowled 12 overs apiece.
413 Target that Karnataka chased down against Jharkhand in Ahmedabad, the highest in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, bettering Andhra's 384-run chase against Goa in 2011-12.
Karnataka's chase is only the second successful 400-plus target chase in List A cricket, behind South Africa's 435-run chase against Australia in the Johannesburg ODI in 2006.
383 Elsewhere in Rajkot, Bengal chased down 383 against Vidarbha, the joint-third highest chase in the tournament. Karnataka also chased 383 against Mumbai in 2024-25, at the very same venue of their Wednesday's record chase. The highest individual score in Bengal's chase was only 71 - by Abhimanyu Easwaran and Shahbaz Ahmed.
Only two teams successfully chased 350-plus targets in List A cricket without any batter scoring a hundred - 373 by Baluchistan against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2018, where the highest score was Ahmed Shehzad's 72 and 359 by UAE against Namibia in 2007, where Saqib Ali top-scored with 91.
212 Swastik Samal's score for Odisha against Saurashtra at Alur. It is only the eighth double ton in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and also the first 150-plus score in List A cricket for Odisha.
It turned out to be only the second individual double ton in List A cricket to end up on the losing side, with Saurashtra chasing down 346, the equal seventh highest successful chase of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Ben Dunk scored 229* for Tasmania in 2014, before Queensland chased down a target of 399, while Usman Khan's 201 in 2024 came in a tied game.
6 Catches for Kerala's Vignesh Puthur in the game against Tripura, including one of his own bowling. He is now the first fielder to claim six catches in a men's List A match.
397 Bihar's win margin against Arunachal is the second-highest for any team in the men's List A cricket, behind the 435-run win of Tamil Nadu against Arunachal in 2022-23.
22 Total number of individual hundreds scored on the opening day of the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, the most scored in a single day in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, going past the 19 centuries on 12th Dec 2021 and 3rd Jan 2025.
