Narayan Jagadeesan, the batting stalwart of Tamil Nadu, has written his name in the history books. He has broken Rohit Sharma’s record of most runs scored in an inning in a List A match. Jagadeesan scored 277 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Round 6 match against Arunachal Pradesh. In doing so, he broke Rohit’s record, who scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2017. Here is an in-depth look at the other records and his stats this season:
Narayan Jagadeesan Scored 277 Runs:
Narayan Jagadeesan scored 277 runs against Arunachal Pradesh and took the Tamil Nadu side to a record-breaking total of 502-2 in a total of 50 overs. This also happens to be the highest individual score in the history of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the highest score by a team in an innings in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Narayan Jagadeesan broke many records with this innings of his. The Tamil Nadu squad as a whole broke many records too.
Narayan Jagadeesan Break’s Virat Kohli’s Record:
Jagadeesan is in the form of his life and has scored the 5th straight century of the tournament. He has broken Virat Kohli, Prithvi Shaw, and Devdutt Padikkal’s record of 4 centuries in the tournament. This makes him the national record holder for most centuries in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy Season. Here is a look at his performances:
| Match Details | Jagadeesan’s Score |
| Round 2: Andhra Pradesh VS Tamil Nadu | 114* runs off 112 balls |
| Round 3: Chhattisgarh VS Tamil Nadu | 107 runs off 113 balls |
| Round 4: Tamil Nadu VS Goa | 168 runs off 140 balls |
| Round 5: Tamil Nadu VS Haryana | 128 runs off 123 balls |

Suggestion to Establish a Relegation System in Indian Domestic Cricket:
Arunachal Pradesh on the other hand got wrapped up for a meager 71 runs. Hence Tamil Nadu registered a 435-run victory. The plate group formation needs to be considered strongly for weaker teams such as the teams from the North East and smaller teams like Pondicherry. A relegation system to relegate the weaker teams to a lower pool needs to be formed. Else these domestic records will lose all sorts of creditability. This suggestion comes from a true cricket fan and even many analysts such as Aakash Chopra and VVS Laxman have been vocal about it.
