New Delhi. Tamil Nadu batsman N Jagadishan smashed the records of Rohit Sharma and Alastair Brown to play the biggest innings in List A cricket history. In the Vijay Hazare Trophy Group C match, Jagadishan scored 277 runs in 141 balls against Arunachal Pradesh, which is the highest individual score in List A cricket. The 26-year-old batsman scored the first 100 runs in 76 balls, while scoring the next 100 runs took only 38 balls. List A cricket consists of one-day internationals and various domestic competitions, in which the number of overs in an innings per team is between 40 and 60.
N Jagadishan broke the record of Rohit Sharma
Tamil Nadu won the match by a record margin of 435 runs, the biggest ever in a List A match. Earlier in 1990, Somerset beat Devon by 346 runs in county cricket. Jagdishan broke Surrey’s Alastair Brown’s record of 268 runs. Brown played this innings for Surrey against Glamorgan in 2002. The Indian record for playing the highest individual innings in List A cricket was in the name of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit had scored 264 runs in ODIs against Sri Lanka in Kolkata, but N Jagadishan broke his record by scoring 277 runs.
